Triple Berry Chicken Avocado Salad with a Creamy Lemon Poppyseed Dressing is my all time favorite salad! Tender and juicy pan seared chicken with romaine lettuce, avocados, strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries. Topped with pistachio nuts, feta cheese and drizzled in the best creamy dressing!
I have some exciting news to share with you today along with my all time favorite salad. We are expecting our fourth child. I am due in just about 7 weeks! All of my pregnancies have been so easy without any complications and this one has defiantly thrown us for a loop. I have waited to announce because there have been a lot of complications early on with this pregnancy.
We know that this one is our last and so we wanted to make the gender reveal fun and special. I was able to find out at 13 weeks what we were having. My friend made a gender reveal cake. We gathered friends and family over for a big party. When we cut into the cake it was….. PINK!! We are adding another sweet little girl to our family. We are especially ecstatic to have two older boys and then two younger girls.
The good news is that all of the complications early on in my pregnancy were gone at the 20 week ultrasound and I have had no problems since. They were able to find a perfect and healthy little girl and we are so excited to have her join our family shortly.
I am sharing this salad with you today because all of my pregnancy cravings are rolled up inside. This is hands down my all time favorite salad! I knew that this was another girl because my pregnancy was exactly the same. And I crave fruit like no other! I can’t seem to get enough fruit and our fridge is always full of it. And then I also crave avocado and pistachio nuts. So it is no surprise that this is my favorite salad!
I love this salad because it is is the perfect meal in one. You have your vegetables, fruits, and protein all rolled up into one. There are so many flavors and textures that really come together to make this salad out of this world.
I honestly could eat it every day!
The best finishing touch to this perfect salad is the creamy lemon poppyseed dressing. The dressing is a tried and true recipe here on the blog. The lemon adds a little tanginess to this sweet dressing. It is wonderful drizzled on top of this salad.
You are going to LOVE this salad just as much as I do. You will quickly be able to see why it is my all time fave!

Paprika & Lime Grilled Chicken Tenderloins
Whether you’re heating up the BBQ on a warm summer’s day or you need to give your skillet a bit of a workout, this is a fabulous chicken recipe that I know you will love.
My paprika lime chicken tenderloins are tender and juicy. The spices and citrus used in the marinade will take your taste buds on a little holiday to the Caribbean, Mexico or Spain – your pick!
I used chicken tenderloins because I find the meat more tender than the rest of the chicken breast and it’s easier to work with than the chicken thighs. You can use any chicken meat you like, just adjust the cooking time depending on the size of the pieces. This marinade will also work well with turkey, pork, quail, prawns and even beef.
What Are Chicken Tenderloins?
Still confused about what chicken tenderloins are? They are short, thin cuts taken from beneath the breast of the bird. You might find that some grocers will sell thinner slices of breast meat and call it chicken tenderloins or tender. They tend to be softer than chicken breast when cooked BUT should not be overcooked, they don’t need as long as the chicken breast.
Nutritionally speaking, they are the same as chicken breast meat – high in protein, minerals, low in calories and fat.
Make-Ahead Tip For Paprika Lime Chicken
The chicken tenderloins can be marinated ahead of time for an even more robust flavour; keep uncooked in the fridge for maximum of 3 days and freeze for up to 2 months and simply defrost overnight in the fridge before you want to use it.

Description
Grilled paprika and lime grilled chicken tenderloins are great with any side dish and can be used in salads, tacos, and wraps. Can be cooked outdoors or on a stove.
- Mix the marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Rinse the chicken and cut larger pieces in half.
- Using your hands, rub the chicken with the marinade. Leave in the bowl, wrap with cling wrap and set aside in the fridge for at least one hour before grilling.
- If using a grill plate or a skillet on your stove, heat one teaspoon of coconut oil until sizzling hot. Fry the chicken pieces for 4 minutes on each side and then remove to a plate to rest. Make sure not to overcrowd the frying pan or you will end up with too much meat juice and stewed rather than grilled chicken.
- If using a BBQ, heat the plate to sizzling hot and either spray with olive oil or brush with coconut oil. Place chicken pieces on the plate with a little space in between and cook for 4 minutes on each side on medium/high heat with the lid on.
- Remove cooked chicken to a serving plate and drizzle with lime juice before serving.
