Summertime Says Chicken: Avocado/Strawberry Chicken Salad

 Here lately it seems like the thing to do is put fruit in chicken salad.

So I set out to create a fruit filled chicken salad.

And just to clear things up right at the beginning, my son loved it.

He is my best food critic.

 I not only added chopped strawberry, I added avocado to the dressing.

I love avocado, but it's one of those foods that I just can't eat plain.

Now guacamole....that is one of my favorites. 

 For the chicken salad I used:

3 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, simmered in water till done.

Shredded the cooled chicken breasts

1 c. finely chopped strawberries

Roughly 3 TBS finely chopped fresh cilantro

1/4 c. finely chopped celery

1/2 c. finely chopped walnuts

 For the dressing:

1/2 c. mayonnaise

1/2 c. sour cream

2 TBS balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing

2 TBS honey

1 avocado

1 tsp. salad supreme blend (McCormick, found in spice isle)

Placed all these ingredients in a blender and blended till smooth.

 I poured the dressing over the chicken salad ingredients and stirred well.

I hope you enjoy this as much as we did.

For sure a refreshing summertime chicken salad.
