What's Cooking Good Looking?

I saw this salad on Pinterest and I was really intrigued. I LOVE avocados, I love chicken and I love cilantro and lime. I also happened to have everything except the chicken in my fridge. I found the actual recipe HERE on a blog called The Salted Paleo.  Her blog contains lots of healthy, tasty recipes which I intend to go back and try out.

I don't follow any specific diet or eating plan. I eat what appeals to me and is generally healthy (I know last week's soup does not qualify as healthy BUT it was fantastic! I ate really small portions which were very satisfying). 

This has to be the BEST chicken salad I have ever eaten and it has nothing unhealthy in it!  I love the tang of the cilantro and lime juice, and the creaminess of the avocado.  This salad kept well in the fridge at work inside a sealed container. 

For lunches, I mixed it with some chopped romaine, grape tomatoes, and sliced cucumber.  No need for dressing.  YUMMY!  I had enough to share with other people on staff and still got several lunches out of it.  I will be making this again and again.

The recipe calls for you to cook the chicken breasts. I simply bought a rotisserie chicken at the supermarket.  I removed the breasts, then boned, skinned and shredded them. Worked like a charm and my hubby at the rest of the chicken for a meal.  

I think I might even try making this using some leftover turkey from Easter..if there is any leftover!
