Avocado Chicken Salad with Poppyseed Dressing
Description
This salad features cooked chicken tenders chopped and combined with fresh strawberries, cubed avocado, thinly sliced red onion, toasted pine nuts, and a base of mixed greens. The poppyseed dressing is prepared by shaking together milk, mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, a sugar substitute, and poppy seeds until well mixed and chilled. The dressing adds a sweet, tangy note that complements the savory chicken and fresh fruit.
The textures range from tender chicken to juicy strawberries, creamy avocado, and crunchy pine nuts. The dressing binds the ingredients without overwhelming them, enhancing the overall flavor harmony.
The recipe notes clarify that the nutritional information counts the entire dressing amount, but typically about half the dressing is used per serving, allowing for adjustment based on preference.
