If you love garlic this dish is for you. If you want to cut down on the garlic you could use a plain marinade for the chicken. Truthfully, I made this for my mom and sister and they probably will not add the chicken. They both love an Avocado salad in Manhattan, Kansas. This is my version of a salad I have never eaten. I hope you give this a try and let me know what you think.
