Description
A creamy and satisfying avocado chicken salad filled with fresh herbs and crunchy cucumbers, perfect for a healthy lunch or dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups shredded chicken (rotisserie or cooked)
- 2 ripe avocados, diced
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup cucumber, diced
- 1/4 cup fresh herbs (cilantro, dill, or parsley), chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken and diced avocado. Use a fork to lightly mash the avocado, so it coats the chicken without becoming a complete puree.
- Add the Greek yogurt to the chicken mixture and mix well, creating a creamy texture that envelops each ingredient beautifully.
- Stir in the diced cucumber and chopped fresh herbs, ensuring an even distribution throughout.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Taste as you go; adjust the seasoning until it’s just right for your palate.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Serve your avocado chicken salad on toasted bread, in crisp lettuce wraps, or simply with crackers and crunchy veggies for dipping.
Notes
For added flavor, squeeze lemon or lime juice before serving to brighten the taste and prevent avocado browning.
