You can use any leftover chicken from homemade chicken soup to make this avocado pomegranate chicken salad. You can also grill the chicken, which will give your salad an extra touch of flavor. Mix it with avocado, mixed lettuces or baby spinach, colorful and juicy pomegranates, and a simple vinaigrette. I love using small pieces of blue cheese and croutons for texture. Serve with a glass of white wine or a light red wine and enjoy.

Ingredients

Mixed lettuce leaves
1/2 chicken breast, cooked and chopped
1 avocado, sliced
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
1/2 small onion, chopped into thin slices

Freshly ground pepper

Expert Tips

Add slices of grapefruit over the salad.
Instead of pecans, use sliced almonds.
If you have Roquefort cheese or any other type of cheese, add small pieces to the salad.
