Grilled Chicken and Tomato Avocado Salad

Looking for an easy, summer breezy, garden-fresh, grilled dish everyone will love?  That’s a tall order, but I think I’ve found it.  My tomato bushes will soon be over flowing with ripe fruit and avocados make everything taste great.  Right?

A quick tip for grilling chicken is to pound the breasts between pieces of plastic wrap to an even thickness.  That way they cook more uniformly and quicker too.  Take care not to overcook.  I try to use touch and of course check for clear fluids when sliced.

The seasonings make this meal.  Rub the onion, garlic and chili powders, cumin and salt generously for full flavor.  Of course fresh tomatoes from your garden or farmer’s market bring summer’s best flavors.  I can’t get enough.  And for the avocado, choose firm but not mushy; slice and arrange on top of the salad.  Top with my favorite Litehouse OPA Greek Yogurt Ranch Dressing.  It’s full flavored without all the fat of regular ranch dressing.
