To make this avocado salad, get started by grilling up three ounces of chicken breast and cooking one slice of bacon. Once they’re completely cooked, slice the chicken and chop the bacon finely into bits. Next, grab your summer bounty and slice up a half-cup of fresh strawberries and an eighth of an avocado. Arrange these ingredients over a bed of fresh spinach and sprinkle your finished salad with a quarter-cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
