Chicken Avocado And Feta Salad Recipes

Steps:

• To save time and effort, I usually get a store-bought rotisserie chicken. Remove skin and chop breasts; add other pieces of chicken if necessary to get to two cups.
• Chop the avocados into medium-sized pieces, mix with 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice to prevent browning, and season avocado with garlic salt to taste. Put in large bowl with chicken.
• Top with onion, feta cheese, pine nuts and cilantro. Toss gently to combine, taking care not to break up or mash the avocado.
• Whisk mayo, dijon and the remaining tablespoon of the lemon juice to make the dressing. Add a bit of water if too thick. Season the dressing with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Drizzle over salad and again toss gently to dress.
• Serve right away or chill for a while before serving. This can be served inside pita bread or sandwich bread, or over a bed of greens/spinach, but we also like to eat it as is.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the diced bread on a sheet pan, drizzle lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss, then bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until well toasted. Set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, place the romaine pieces in a large mixing bowl, along with the chickpeas, cucumber, olives and scallions.
• In a small bowl, whisk together 6 tablespoons olive oil with the vinegar, capers, shallots, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and whisk well. Pour enough dressing over the salad to moisten; toss well. Add the avocado, feta and herbs and toss gently, adding more dressing to taste. Top with the croutons and a generous sprinkle of herbs and serve.

Steps:

• Pull the meat from the chicken and shred it roughly. Trim the base from each lettuce, wash and dry the leaves, then roughly shred them. Cut the tomatoes into wedges. Finely slice the spring onions (using both white and green parts). Cut the avocados in half lengthways, remove the stones and peel. Cut crosswise into slices, and squeeze with lemon juice. Crumble the feta cheese with your fingers and toss it with the dried oregano and mint. Pick the leaves off the parsley and set aside.
• Whisk the 3 tbsp of lemon juice with the olive oil, sea salt and pepper. In a large bowl, toss the chicken, lettuce, tomatoes and spring onion, then fold through three quarters of the dressing with the avocados (carefully, so the avocados don't break up). Season with salt and pepper, then scatter over the feta, olives and parsley, and drizzle with the rest of the dressing. Squeeze extra lemon juice on top, and serve with pitta bread if you wish.

Steps:

• Make the dressing. Grate one lime into a large salad bowl and squeeze the juice of both limes on top. Add the honey, mustard, oil, salt and pepper and whisk with a fork or small whisk until thickened.
• Crumble the feta into mouthful-sized chunks between your fingers. Peel, stone and chop the avocados. Deseed and chop the peppers. Drain and rinse the beans. Shred the lettuce.
• Tip all the ingredients into the salad bowl and toss to mix. Serve with some good bread.

Steps:

• Place avocado cubes in a bowl.
• Whisk olive oil, lime juice, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a bowl; mix in feta cheese. Pour dressing over avocado cubes; toss to coat.

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium. Rub the chicken all over with 1 tsp of the olive oil and the paprika. Cook for 4-5 mins each side until lightly charred and cooked through.
• Mix the salad ingredients together, season and add the rest of the oil. thickly slice the chicken and serve with salad.
