Chicken Salad with Creamy Avocado Dressing

Salads can be a diet downfall when they are smothered in fatty and sugary dressings. They've become a staple in my diet having figured out  ways to keep them delish and always healthy. My creamy avocado dressing is fatty, but it's the kind you want to eat. Do you recognize the chicken?

Serves: 1
Ready in: 5 minutes

You'll Need:
for the dressing
1 tablespoon  plain, fat free Greek yogurt
2 thin slices avocado
1 teaspoon lime or lemon juice
for the salad
2-3 cups greens 
1/4 cup chopped tomatoes
1/4 cup sliced cucumber
1/2 sliced bell pepper
1/4 cup frozen corn, thawed
1 Broiled BBQ Chicken Breast, sliced

Here's How:

1. In the bottom of a salad bowl (or to-go container), use a fork to mash the avocado together with the yogurt until smooth. Stir in the lime juice and a pinch of salt and pepper. 
2. Layer the greens, veggies and  chicken over the dressing. Toss when ready to serve.

I'm someone who doesn't normally enjoy salads with meat, but this salad blew me away! So full of fresh and bright flavors. Quick question: can I double or triple the dressing and keep in the fridge or will it brown due to the avocado?

Avocado will definitely brown in the fridge, but I read a tip on Pinterest that spraying the top with non-stick cooking spray will help keep it from browning. Personally, I haven't had a chance to try it. Hope that helps!

I've made a dip that sounds basically like a thicker version of this dressing. The acid from the yogurt and citrus juice should keep the avocado from browning and getting funky. I wouldn't keep the dressing for more than a couple of days, though.
