    Wash the iceberg and shake it from the water. Carefully divide the sheets, trying to keep their rounded shape. Add salt and season the previously prepared salad with avocado sauce and place the slide inside the iceberg leaf. Cut the chicken breast into two portions and put it on top. Garnish with a slice of lemon and fresh coriander.

I served the dish exactly as in the photo, in a lettuce leaf. But if desired, the iceberg can be chopped (as well as chicken) and mix all the salad ingredients together.
The salad turned out to be very interesting, both in terms of taste and in terms of serving. My family were pleasantly surprised by its appearance and taste.
Bon appetit!
