It\u2019s fresh, it\u2019s filling, and it\u2019s one of those recipes I make on repeat here on the Gold Coast when I want something light but satisfying!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"2400\" src=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Chicken-Salad-IMAGE-1.jpg\" alt=\"Lemon Herb Avocado Chicken Salad Recipe with crispy bacon &amp; creamy feta cheese on a plate \" class=\"wp-image-54589\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Chicken-Salad-IMAGE-1.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Chicken-Salad-IMAGE-1-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Chicken-Salad-IMAGE-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Chicken-Salad-IMAGE-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Chicken-Salad-IMAGE-1-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Chicken-Salad-IMAGE-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Chicken-Salad-IMAGE-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 id=\"h-what-makes-this-recipe-so-good\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Makes This Recipe So Good<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a food blogger and busy mum, I need meals that tick all the boxes.

It\u2019s perfect for a quick lunch, a light dinner, or even meal prep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are obsessed with loaded chicken salads like I am, you definitely need to try my <a href=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/blt-balsamic-chicken-avocado-feta-salad\/\">BLT Balsamic Chicken Avocado Feta Salad<\/a> or the fan-favourite <a href=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/skinny-chicken-and-avocado-caesar-salad\/\">Skinny Chicken and Avocado Caesar Salad<\/a> next.

For a spicier alternative, try this&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/grilled-cajun-chicken-salad-creamy-cajun-dressing-recipe\/\">Grilled Cajun Chicken Salad<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avocado:<\/strong> Essential for any great chicken avocado salad, it adds creaminess without needing heavy dressings and makes each bite feel more filling and luxurious. If you love avocado, check out my <a href=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/chicken-avocado-caprese-salad\/\">Chicken Caprese Salad<\/a> which is basically summer in a bowl.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lemon Juice:<\/strong> Fresh lemon juice lifts the flavours of the marinade and brightens the entire salad, giving the chicken and avocado a refreshing finish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Feta Cheese:<\/strong> Adds salty richness and a creamy bite that complements the chicken and avocado, tying the textures together beautifully. See below notes about the feta I choose.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note: <\/strong>Please see <a href=\"#recipe-card\">recipe card<\/a> at the bottom for a full list of ingredients with measurements.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-spotlight-on-feta-cheese\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spotlight on Feta cheese<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want this salad to taste like it came from a restaurant, the cheese matters! Here is my golden rule for buying Feta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Look for the red and yellow <strong>PDO stamp<\/strong> (Protected Designation of Origin). This guarantees it is authentic <strong>Greek Feta<\/strong> made from sheep and goat\u2019s milk. It has that signature tangy kick and crumbly texture that makes this salad pop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Skip the Cow:<\/strong> &#8220;Danish Feta&#8221; or &#8220;Feta Style&#8221; cheeses are usually made from cow\u2019s milk. They are much creamier and smoother, but they lack that zesty punch we want here. Plus, sheep\u2019s milk is often easier to digest!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Please, I beg you, <strong>do not buy pre-crumbled feta!<\/strong> It is coated in anti-caking agents that make it dry and chalky. Buy the block stored in brine and crumble it yourself with a fork. It takes 10 seconds and tastes a million times fresher.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2

I always find that even an extra 20 minutes gives the lemon and herbs time to really soak in.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Slice the avocado right before serving so it stays bright and creamy. I usually give it a tiny squeeze of lemon too, just to keep it from browning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Let the chicken rest before slicing. It keeps all those flavorful juices where they belong instead of running onto the board.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Taste the dressing before drizzling. Sometimes I add an extra pinch of salt or a splash of lemon depending on how tangy I want the salad that day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-recipe-faq-s\">Recipe FAQ&#8217;s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1733457286629\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How Do I Keep The Avocado From Getting Mushy In The Salad?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Use a ripe but firm avocado and slice it just before serving.
