Avocado Chicken Salad

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.
