'Engagement Chicken' Avocado Salad (DF)

What to do with leftovers from Ina Garten’s infamous 'Engagement Chicken’ recipe? The ubiquitous avocado, now available year round, steps up to the challenge.

If time is an issue, a prepared roasted chicken from the market works fine. As an added bonus: prep time for the salad is about 10 minutes!

My Paleo Marin Rating: 4 Persimmons

2 avocados, sliced in half and pitted
