Veggie and Avocado Salad with Grilled Chicken

Tried this one last night. We had some fresh veggies from our garden I was trying to decide what to do with. I think it turned out well! I didn't do as well with the pictures this time, but I hope it still sounds appealing!

Chicken Marinade:
1/2 tbsp crushed red pepper (cut back on this if you don't like spicy stuff)
2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup lime juice
1/2 cup cilantro
4 cloves garlic (4 tsp minced garlic if that's what you're using)

Put chicken breast in large bowl and add ingredients to bowl. Turn chicken with fork to coat all sides. Cover and put into fridge while preparing salad.

Veggie and Avocado Salad:
1/4 cup plain greek yogurt
1 tsp cayenne pepper (red pepper)
1/2 tbsp mayonnaise (I prefer olive oil mayonnaise. It's MUCH healthier, and tastes better in my opinion)
1 avocado
1/2 lime
1/2 cup cilantro
1/2 cup diced cucumber
1 tbsp onion (whichever type you like is fine)
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1 green bell pepper
1 cup fresh spinach

1. Chop up tomatoes, cucumber, cilantro, bell pepper, and avocado. Add to bowl.

2. Add lime juice and stir. The lime juice not only gives great flavor, but prevents the avocados from browning as quickly too.

3. Add onion, yogurt, and mayonnaise. Add cayenne. Mix well, then salt and pepper to taste.














4. Cover salad and put in refrigerator.

5. Remove the marinated chicken and grill. Cut into small slices once removed from grill.

6. Put spinach in bowl, top with chicken and salad. The salad makes enough for 3 servings.

Enjoy! Sorry I forgot to take a picture of the finished product!
