An A+ Avocado Salad
Avocados are a great source of good monounsaturated fatty acids and a welcome addition to summery salads, thanks to their lush texture, nutlike flavor, and deep green color. In this Mexican-inspired Chicken and Avocado Salad, sliced avocado joins shredded roasted chicken, diced tomato, chopped romaine, lettuce, and sliced cucumber in a beautiful main course.
