Kale salad gets a cool California twist with creamy California Avocado dressing and fresh smoky California Avocado. Add smoked chicken that you’ve made in your own backyard, or store-bought rotisserie chicken, for a complete meal.
Serves: 4
Smoked California Avocado Dressing
Smoking Chicken – Gas Grill: Set burner on one side of the grill to medium high and one side on low so you have a hot and cool side. Place a smoker box, full of desired wood chips, on hot side and chicken on cool side. Close grill and let cook at 300 degrees F until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
Smoking Chicken – Charcoal Grill: Place coal on one side so you have a hot and cool side. When coals are ready, add soaked wood chips on top of coals and set chicken on cool side. Cover and cook at 300 degrees F until chicken reaches 165 degrees F internal temp.
Smoking Avocado – Gas or Charcoal Grill: Use the same technique to smoke the avocado. Cut avocado in half, remove seed, rub the inside with oil and place in smoker box for 45 minutes. When ready, scoop out avocado and give a rough chop.
Serving Suggestion: Double the recipe to feed a crowd!
Beverage Pairing: Fresh squeezed lemonade or iced tea
*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
It’s a good idea to brush a little oil on the cut side of a California Avocado before grilling. They are also delicious in a host of other entrée recipes, from stove top to oven-baked to multi-cooker preparation.
As with all fruits and vegetables, wash avocados before cutting. Check out our tips for how to choose and use California Avocados
