1/3 garlic clove, crushed
For the sandwich:
2 cups lettuce, shredded
2 boneless chicken breast, cooked, skinned and shredded
1/3 red onion, diced
1/3 cup ripe olives, thinly sliced
2 fresh avocados, seeded, peeled and cubed (see note)
4 fresh pita bread rounds

For the vinaigrette: In a mixing bowl, whisk all ingredients together until well blended.

For the sandwich: In a large bowl, combine lettuce, chicken, onion and olives. Just before serving, gently mix in avocado.

Divide sandwich stuffing into equal portions and carefully spoon into pita bread.

Before serving, generously drizzle vinaigrette dressing over each stuffed half.
