Salad Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 2 medium avocados
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the shredded chicken, peeled and pitted avocados, mayonnaise, diced red onion, fresh cilantro, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt into a mixing bowl. Use a spoon or fork to mix well, breaking down the avocado into a creamy consistency that coats the chicken evenly.
- Serve Immediately: Once mixed, serve the avocado chicken salad fresh to enjoy the creamy texture and bright flavors at their best.
- Store Properly: If not eating immediately, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the salad to minimize exposure to air and prevent the avocado from browning. Refrigerate and consume within 1-2 days for optimal freshness.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm avocados for the best texture and flavor.
- Mayonnaise can be substituted with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
- Add a pinch of black pepper or chili flakes for extra heat.
- Serve on sandwich bread, salad greens, or with crackers.
- Storing with plastic wrap pressed on top helps prevent oxidation of avocado.
