Salad Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, and diced
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the cooked chicken, diced avocado, Greek yogurt, and lime juice. Gently fold together to combine all ingredients evenly without mashing the avocado too much.
- Season to Taste: Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to your preference. Stir lightly to distribute the seasoning throughout the salad.
- Chill and Serve: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve the salad chilled, ideal on its own or as a filling for sandwiches or wraps.
Notes
- Use freshly cooked chicken for the best flavor and texture.
- Ripe avocado should be soft but not mushy for the perfect creaminess.
- Greek yogurt adds protein and creaminess, but you can substitute with mayonnaise if preferred for a richer flavor.
- Add chopped cilantro or green onions to enhance the freshness.
- This salad is best consumed within 24 hours to avoid avocado browning.
