Chicken salad with avocado and cucumber - easy, healthy and tasty. I refer to similar recipes to the category - “to eat this in order to lose weight”. A salad without mayonnaise, and although some nutritionists do not include avocados as products that should be included in the diet menu, more recently there have been calls for its protection. Boiled chicken breast, most often, the taste is rather dry. What a sin to conceal, white chicken meat is rarely juicy, especially if it is boiled. I will give a few tips based on personal experience that will help you prepare tasty and wholesome food without getting better.
To make the salad tasty, you need to add some healthy fats to the boiled chicken, which can be found in avocado and high-quality olive oil. Juicy vegetables - spinach and cucumber, will bring their own special touch and freshness. A sweet carrot will be suitable for sweetness, and a green onion will add some sharpness to the dish.
Vinegar for dressing dietary salads is not suitable, it must be replaced with freshly squeezed lemon juice. Instead of the usual table salt, take a large sea, just a few grains. And finally, prepare a small portion just before lunch or dinner, do not cook such snacks in large quantities, only spoil the food.
