This Chickpea Salad with Chicken, Apples, & Avocado is a filling and delicious salad which is jam-packed with delicious ingredients like tender chicken, crunchy & spicy roasted chickpeas, crisp and juicy apples and smooth, creamy avocado.
Start by making the dressing for the salad. Cook chicken and chickpeas in the oven until the chicken is cooked through and the chickpeas are crisp and golden brown. Make cauliflower rice in the food processor. When you are ready to serve, mix all of the salad ingredients together and pour the dressing over the salad. If you’re preparing the salad in advance, don’t add the dressing or cut the avocado until just before you serve.
