Grilled Chicken, Vegetable and Avocado Salad
This Grilled Chicken, Vegetable and Avocado Salad screams summertime, but will satisfy you anytime of year. Crisp lettuce topped with juicy grilled chicken and vegetables, creamy avocados and your favorite vinaigrette dressing is a simple but delicious flavor combination. This Grilled Chicken, Vegetable and Avocado Salad combines seemingly simple flavors to create a dish bursting with flavor! I love how all the vegetables and the chicken get those gorgeous grill marks too. It just reminds me of summer and outdoor family barbecues.
