This quick and easy chicken salad is made with the breast meat of a Rotisserie chicken, avocados, fresh tomatoes, basil and lemon juice. Whole30 friendly and a great way to enjoy those end-of-summer garden tomatoes.

Made with just a few ingredients, and it’s also low-carb, gluten-free and Keto.

Although I am really excited about the fall seasoning arriving, I am also sad to see tomato season coming to an end. We have tons of basil in our garden so I tossed a bunch of leaves in and loved the flavor with the lemon.

Variations and Tips:

• You can swap the basil for peppery baby arugula or a mix of your fresh garden herbs like chives and parsley.
• If you want to make this ahead for a meal prep lunch, cut the avocado just before you’re ready to eat. You can also make this in a jar my combining the olive oil and lemon juice at the bottom with the avocados in the dressing, this should keep them from browning. Then top with chicken, then tomatoes.
