Salad Ingredients
- 3 mini cucumbers, sliced into coins
- 5 to 8 mini sweet peppers, sliced
- 1 medium avocado, diced
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
- 1/2 cup crumbly feta cheese
Dressing
- 1/4 cup ginger dressing
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: Combine the sliced mini cucumbers, sliced mini sweet peppers, and diced avocado in a large mixing bowl. Gently toss the ingredients to evenly mix without mashing the avocado.
- Add chicken and dressing: Add the shredded or chopped cooked chicken to the bowl, then pour in the ginger dressing. Toss everything together gently to coat the salad evenly with the dressing.
- Add feta cheese and serve: Add the crumbly feta cheese, saving a few tablespoons for garnish. Toss the salad briefly to combine, then top with the reserved feta and serve immediately for best freshness and texture.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm avocados to avoid mushy texture.
- The ginger dressing can be store-bought or homemade according to your preference.
- For a vegetarian version, omit chicken and add chickpeas or another protein alternative.
- Serve immediately to maintain the crispness of the vegetables and freshness of the avocado.
- This salad is best eaten fresh; it does not store well due to avocado browning.
