Light spring salad with avocado and chicken breast: how to dress it deliciously

In spring, you always want light and nutritious food. A variety of salads made from vegetables and herbs are perfect for this occasion. And instead of high-calorie mayonnaise, you can use sour cream or Greek yogurt for dressing.

The idea of preparing a light spring salad was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Kateryna Movchan (katarina_movchan). The dish is based on lean chicken and avocado.

Ingredients:

• chicken fillet – 400 g
• eggs – 4 eggs and 4 whites (8 eggs in total)
• medium-sized avocado – 2 pcs.
• fresh cucumber – 250 g
• salted cucumbers – 200 g
• carrots – 200 g
• salt, ground smoked paprika, and dried basil to taste
• vegetable oil – 1 tbsp.
