Scrumptious combination of grilled paprika chicken, creamy avocados with fresh lettuce, blackberries and topped with tangy blackberry dressing. This Chicken Avocado Salad makes a delicious and filling lunch! 

Recently, I am all about fruity salad dressings. They are just so flavorful, refreshing and pair very well with berries, chicken, shrimp and other things you like to put on the salad. The Chicken Avocado Salad I am sharing with you today is easy to make, colorful, healthy and yummy. Who can resist that?

Summer is finally here in NJ. We’ve got a lot of fresh produce on supermarket shelves now, and I am stocking up. Blackberries are my favorite berries, so it’s no surprise I came up with this treat. I really hope you’ll enjoy this salad, friends, and leave a comment on how much you liked it. Without further ado, I present to you CHICKEN AVOCADO SALAD WITH BLACKBERRY DRESSING.

To prepare the chicken you'll need:

• 2 chicken breasts
• salt
• pepper
• paprika

First, cut the chicken breast into ½ inch thick slices and sprinkle with salt, pepper and a generous (!) amount of paprika. Spray a large, non-stick grill pan with vegetable oil and grill the chicken on a high heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until it is cooked through.

To prepare the dressing you'll need:

• 4 oz. of fresh blackberries
• ⅓ cup of canola oil
• 2 tbsp. of honey
• 2 tbsp. of white wine vinegar

Just place all the ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. (I am using a single serve Ninja smoothie cup and it is AMAZING! Minimal cleanup and I can also store the dressing in the same cup. 🙂 )

You are almost done. Now, what’s left to do is to arrange the lettuce on a serving platter. Top it with the paprika chicken, avocado slices and some blackberries. And of course, pour a generous amount of dressing on top…
