This is a great salad to make if you have leftover chicken or a rotisserie chicken. For an&nbsp;easy chicken recipe, cook it in the Instant Pot!<\/li><li><strong>Avocado<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Can be sliced, diced or even smashed into the salad. Guacamole or a creamy avocado dressing can be used too.<\/li><li><strong>Lettuce<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 This salad recipe uses hearts of romaine; however, butter lettuce, iceberg lettuce, red leaf or green leaf lettuce can be used.<\/li><li><strong>Extras<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 This is optional, but I added in tomatoes (cherry tomatoes or on the vine) and hard boiled eggs. Other vegetables or fruit you may want to add is blueberries, cucumber, red onion or bell pepper. Consider adding bacon or bacon bits for added flavor.<\/li><li><strong>Salad dressing<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 I keep it simple when it comes to salad dressing \u2013 no need for a mayonnaise like other salad recipes. Oil, acid, salt and pepper, flavor. The oil used is olive oil but avocado oil could also be used. I prefer the flavor of sherry vinegar in this vinaigrette, but red wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar or lemon juice and lime juice could also be used. Bragg\u2019s Organic Sprinkle of 24 Herbs &amp; Spices is my favorite for adding flavor to homemade salad dressing. Italian seasoning can also be used.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Avocado-Chicken-Salad-ingredients\">Avocado Chicken Salad Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"12px\" height=\"21px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ketofocus.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ketofocus\/img\/grip.svg\" alt=\"\">&nbsp;1 pound cooked chicken<\/li><li><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"12px\" height=\"21px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ketofocus.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ketofocus\/img\/grip.svg\" alt=\"\">&nbsp;2 hearts romaine lettuce, chopped<\/li><li><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"12px\" height=\"21px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ketofocus.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ketofocus\/img\/grip.svg\" alt=\"\">&nbsp;1 medium avocado, sliced<\/li><li><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"12px\" height=\"21px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ketofocus.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ketofocus\/img\/grip.svg\" alt=\"\">&nbsp;1 medium tomato, diced<\/li><li><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"12px\" height=\"21px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ketofocus.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ketofocus\/img\/grip.svg\" alt=\"\">&nbsp;4 hard boiled eggs, quartered<\/li><li><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"12px\" height=\"21px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ketofocus.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ketofocus\/img\/grip.svg\" alt=\"\">&nbsp;1\/4 cup olive oil<\/li><li><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"12px\" height=\"21px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ketofocus.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ketofocus\/img\/grip.svg\" alt=\"\">&nbsp;1\/4 cup&nbsp;sherry vinegar<\/li><li><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"12px\" height=\"21px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ketofocus.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ketofocus\/img\/grip.svg\" alt=\"\">&nbsp;1-2 teaspoons&nbsp;Bragg&#8217;s Sprinkle Herbs&nbsp;or Italian seasoning<\/li><li><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"12px\" height=\"21px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ketofocus.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ketofocus\/img\/grip.svg\" alt=\"\">&nbsp;salt &amp; pepper to taste<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Avocado-Chicken-Salad-directions\">Avocado Chicken Salad Directions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a><\/a>STEP<br>1Chop and prep ingredientsChop and slice all of your ingredients as stated above.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"351\" height=\"197\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ketofocus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/avocado-chicken-salad-step-1-351x197.jpg\" alt=\"slicing an avocado with a knife\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ketofocus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/avocado-chicken-salad-step-1-351x197.jpg 351w, https:\/\/www.ketofocus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/avocado-chicken-salad-step-1-181x102.jpg 181w, https:\/\/www.ketofocus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/avocado-chicken-salad-step-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ketofocus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/avocado-chicken-salad-step-1.jpg 400w\"><\/li><li><a><\/a>STEP<br>2Assemble saladIn a large platter or serving bowl, lay down a bed of lettuce.
