Summary

A good salad needs veggies, protein, flavor, and different textures. The chicken in this recipe provides the protein. When combined with avocado and sunflower seeds, you get the perfect flavor, texture and crunch. This quick and easy salad is perfect for a light and satisfying lunch. It's also great for meal prepping—simply pack each serving in a separate container, and wait to add the dressing until right before serving.
