I used cubed chicken breast that I cooked myself – which I will list in the recipe below. But to make it even easier to toss together, you can always used pre-cooked/meal prep chicken or rotisserie chicken.

This recipe came about after a long, tiring day and as I was crawling into bed. I kept thinking of the what I had in my fridge that needed either eaten or used. I had leftovers from my Lemon Shrimp and Avocado Caprese, as well as some vegetables that needed eaten. Thus this refreshing and easy salad came to mind! I swear, the joke in our house is that I’m always thinking about food.

There’s no denial here. I’ve come to terms with my obsession. Most ideas (for anything in life) come to me when I’m laying in bed. Which has prompted me to keep a small notepad and pen on my nightstand. If I don’t, my ideas or random brainstorms disappear upon waking. Anyone else do this?

Sometimes you just need a meal or recipe that doesn’t require much effort or thought. Especially after a long and tiring day.

Tips:

  • As stated above, you can simplify this recipe even more by replacing the chicken below with precooked rotisserie chicken.
  • I love this recipe with freshly squeezed lemon juice over the top. It adds to the flavor.
  • This recipe makes 4-6 servings. If it is not going to be eaten in one sitting – I suggest adding the avocado as you eat it, as avocado turns rather quickly.

The best part about this recipe? You can have it as a salad, a side dish or toss it into a few romaine leaves to have as lettuce wraps!

And if you’re not a fan of balsamic glaze, you can omit it and enjoy the salad with freshly squeezed lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, and salt and black pepper to taste.

  • 2 avocados (peeled, pitted and cubed)
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 1 in large cucumber (sliced lengthwise and thenslices, or 2 medium)
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella pearls (or sliced mozzarella)
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil (chopped)
