The inspiration for this salad came to me on a hot summer day. I was looking for a light and refreshing meal that would be easy to make. I had some grilled chicken in the fridge, and I thought it would be a great addition to a salad. I also had some avocado, red onion, and feta cheese on hand. I threw all of the ingredients together in a bowl, and I was amazed at how well they complemented each other. The salad was light and refreshing, but it was also filling and satisfying. I've been making this salad ever since, and it's always a hit with my family and friends.
