Notes
You can use your favorite type of cooked chicken for this low carb salad - I used a chicken breast that was prepared in a non-stick pan with a little bit of olive oil, black pepper and garlic. If you want to meal prep this salad, know that this is one serving. To make it ahead - use whole cherry tomatoes, don't open the avocado and chop the cucumbers only roughly. Also don't add the dressing, do it right before serving.
