Instructions
Wash and dry 12 large cos lettuce leaves and set them aside. These will serve as the 'boats' for your salad.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken breast, quartered cherry tomatoes, finely diced cucumber, and finely diced red bell pepper.
Add the diced avocado and chopped parsley to the bowl. Gently mix to avoid mashing the avocado.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to combine, ensuring an even coating.
Spoon the salad mixture evenly into the prepared cos lettuce leaves, ensuring each 'boat' is generously filled.
Arrange the cos salad boats on a serving platter and serve immediately for a fresh and nutritious dish.
