Chicken Avocado Salad with Tahini Sauce

 

Ripe avocados are so creamy and mellow, achingly sweet melting in your mouth and sensuously aphrodisiac. I fell in love with guacamole the very first time I had it. Now avocado has become pretty indispensable for me in salads and sandwiches. On the other hand, tahini is something I am newly acquiring a taste for. Recently I bought home a bottle of tahini sauce and was looking for ways to use it. So the chance came when I read somewhere that tahini can be a good substitute for so frequently used balsamic vinegar in salad dressing. I combined it with yogurt and a pinch of spices, but I perceive you may combine tahini with mayonnaise or simply drizzle it on top of your salad to add taste and desirably, it will turn out pleasant.

Chicken Avocado Salad with Tahini Sauce tastes superlatively good. You may add few croutons to jazz up your salad further, and enjoy the bliss.
