For the salad

2 ripe avocados, pitted and diced
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
¼ cup red onion, finely diced
¼ cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped
2 tbsp fresh dill, roughly chopped

For the dressing

3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp dijon mustard
½ tsp ground turmeric
¼ tsp salt

Instructions

1
Place the chicken breasts in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Season the water with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer at the thickest part, about 15–18 minutes.
2
Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes, until cool enough to handle. Shred or chop into bite-sized pieces.
