An easy and delicious salad made with grilled chicken, avocados, tomatoes, and a greek yogurt based creamy skinny salad dressing. 
Chicken and Avocado Salad with Skinny Creamy Dressing

Have I ever mentioned how much I love salads? If it weren’t for salads, I seriously would not know where I will be. I usually have a salad for lunch almost every day and I can honestly say they are a huge part of my weight loss.

The thing with salads is that you can add just about anything calorie appropriate and still have a large filling lunch that will satisfy your hunger. I like to use grilled protein on my salad, mostly chicken. Add some greens, tomatoes, avocados, top it with a skinny dressing and call it a lunch! Chicken and Avocado Salad with Skinny Creamy DressingThis salad is made with spiced chicken breasts that can be grilled on a grill, pan, or griddle. You can use boneless skin-less chicken thighs or breasts. There’s no need to marinate the chicken because this is a dry spice rub.

To top the off the salad I like to use my special creamy skinny dressing that is made with greek yogurt, lemon or lime, and crushed garlic.PIN RECIPEChicken and Avocado Salad with Skinny Creamy Dressing
