Avocado and Chicken Salad

Ever since my first acquaintance with the avocado, I am now mad about avocados! My next avocado dish is a salad with steamed chicken. I made a dressing with lemon juice and red wine vinegar and it was totally delicious. The creamy avocado made for an indulging mouth feel and I simply cannot get enough!
