Avocado Chicken Salad Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 large ripe avocados, halved and pitted
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
- 1 small tomato, seeded and diced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, red onion, celery, and lime juice. Stir well to blend all the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper according to taste.
- Assemble the Avocado Boats
Spoon the chicken salad mixture into the avocado halves. Be generous with the filling, allowing it to mound slightly above the edges of the avocados.
- Add Toppings
Top each filled avocado half with diced tomatoes and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro or parsley for freshness and color.
- Serve
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving if you prefer a cooler dish.
Tips:
- To keep the avocados from browning, sprinkle the halves with additional lime juice before adding the filling.
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce to the chicken salad mixture.
