Avocado Chicken Salad is a delicious and healthy dish that’s perfect for a light lunch or dinner. Here’s a simple recipe you can try:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or cubed)
- 1 ripe avocado (diced)
- 1/4 cup red onion (finely diced)
- 1/4 cup celery (diced)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (optional, such as parsley, cilantro, or dill)
Instructions:
- Prepare the chicken: If you don’t have pre-cooked chicken, you can quickly cook it by boiling, grilling, or pan-frying a chicken breast and then shredding or cubing it.
- Mix the salad: In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, diced avocado, red onion, and celery.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt or mayo, lemon juice, Dijon mustard (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Toss everything together: Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and toss gently to combine. Be careful not to mash the avocado too much.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. You can serve the salad on its own, in a lettuce wrap, or with crackers or whole-grain bread.
Enjoy your creamy and flavorful Avocado Chicken Salad!
