Avocado Chicken Salad

Ingredients

  • 1 large (8 to 10 oz) avocado, mashed with a fork
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 3 Tbsp finely chopped green onions
  • 2 Tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 Tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 3/4 tsp minced fresh garlic (or 1/4 tsp dried granulated)
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 2 cups (11 oz) shredded cooked chicken breast (I like to use rotisserie chicken)
  • 2/3 cup grape tomatoes, sliced or 1/2 cup diced celery

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl stir together mashed avocado, lemon juice, green onions, parsley, cilantro, garlic and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add chicken and toss to evenly coat with mixture.
  • Toss in tomatoes or celery.
  • Serve as desired: plain, over bread or lettuce leaves, it’s also delicious with cooked bacon.

Notes

  • Depending on the avocado you can get a lightly different result, if needed you can add a spoonful of plain yogurt, a splash of olive oil or even water to thin the chicken salad out if preferred.
  • Nutrition estimate doesn’t include food used for serving such as bread slices.
