  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound shredded, cooked chicken breast meat
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 medium avocado, chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  2. Mix everything together until well combined.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors come together.
  4. Serve chilled in a bowl on its own, over greens, or with your choice of bread or crackers.

Notes

  • Use a ripe avocado for the best creamy texture.
  • You can use a rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • Swap mayonnaise for extra Greek yogurt if you want a lighter version.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the salad before refrigerating to slow browning of the avocado.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you want a little heat.
