Avocado Chicken Salad

Avocado Chicken Salad Recipe

Shock Munch

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large chicken breasts, cooked and cubed
  • 2 avocados, cubed
  • ¼ cup green onion, I used white parts only, chopped
  • 2-3 stalks of celery, chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (to start, you may want more later)
  • 2-3 tablespoon of mayo (I'm sure plain greek yogurt would be tasty too)
  • Juice from 1 lime
  • Grape tomatoes (I used red and yellow)
  • Dried dill (optional)
  • A lot of cilantro, minced (I used almost an entire bunch of cilantro)
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, pour roughly 2 tablespoons of the lime juice over the cubed avocado. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the avocado too. Gently mix everything together. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, add the cooked chicken, green onion, and celery.
  • Gently stir in the mayo, starting with 1-2 tablespoons, in with the chicken mixture. You'll be able to add the last tablespoon of mayo later, if you think you need it.
  • Throw in cilantro and the avocado mixture. Again, gently mix everything together.
  • Taste your salad...now it's time to add ¼ teaspoon of salt, lime juice, dried dill, pepper, and the remaining mayo. Add your seasonings (and mayo) in small increments and taste as you go.
  • Keeping adding more seasonings until you get the taste how you like it, you may find additional salt, lime, and mayo is not needed.
  • Once you like the taste, toss in your tomatoes, stir, serve, and enjoy!
