Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast shredded
  • 1 ripe avocado mashed
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup red onion finely diced
  • 1/4 cup celery chopped
  • 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro or parsley chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Method
 

  1. Start by mashing the avocado in a large bowl until it becomes smooth and creamy.
  2. Next, incorporate the Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper into the mashed avocado, stirring thoroughly.
  3. Add the shredded chicken to the mixture, ensuring every piece is evenly coated.
  4. Gently fold in the red onion, celery, cherry tomatoes, and chopped herbs for a fresh crunch.
  5. Pour the olive oil over the salad and stir lightly to combine all flavors.
  6. If you like a bit of spice, sprinkle the red pepper flakes on top.
  7. Enjoy the salad right away or chill it in the fridge for about 30 minutes to let the tastes blend beautifully.

Notes

  • For best flavor, refrigerate the salad for 30 minutes before serving. You can swap cilantro for parsley based on your preference. This salad can be served on its own or with whole-grain bread for a more filling meal.
