Take chicken salad to a new level with the addition of avocado. This naturally creamy chicken and avocado salad is healthy and contains no mayo or sour cream.
Ever since I tried avocado in a grilled chicken sandwich, I can no longer have chicken without avocado. The creamy avocado compliments chicken so well and the addition of cilantro and lime make it a combo to die for. This creamy salad is great in sandwiches, wraps, or with a side of vegetables if you are on a diet.
I’ve added this salad to my healthy lunch rotation because the rotisserie chicken breasts are lean and a great source of protein, the avocado is packed full of nutrition and because no mayo or cream is added, you can enjoy the salad guilt-free.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup shredded or chopped chicken breast
- 1 medium avocado, skin and pit removed
- 1 stalk celery, chopped finely
- 1/2 small red onion, chopped finely
- 2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp. sea salt
- 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
How to make it:
Combine shredded chicken, avocado, celery, and onion in a bowl and mash the avocados.
Add in chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper and stir to combine.
Add more salt and pepper to taste and serve as desired.
