Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 cups baby leaf spinach
5 1/2 cups roast chicken, cooled and roughly shredded
4 scallions, finely sliced into rings
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 ripe avocados
1 1/2 teaspoons Maldon salt, or table salt to taste
Finely grated zest of 1 lime

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine spinach leaves, chicken, scallions and about 3/4 cup of cilantro.

  • Arrange salad on a large plate or in a salad bowl, and sprinkle with remaining chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.

This is the best roast chicken salad I've ever had! The chicken was so moist and flavorful, and the dressing was the perfect balance of tangy and creamy. I will definitely be making this again and again.
