Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Season to Taste: Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to your preference. Stir lightly to distribute the seasoning throughout the salad.
  3. 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.
