  1. This was great. I loved that the yogurt added a creamy element but wasn’t too tangy and made it feel lighter with less mayo. I used leftover Costco rotisserie chicken that was in need of sprucing up. I did leave out the cilantro but it still turned out tasty. I like that this seemed like a versital base for add ins. Next time I think I will add white beans and celery or cucumber chunks! Oh I bet subbing tuna for chicken would also work well! Thanks for a quick lunch.

  3. I’ve been making chicken salad for ages, but I never really thought of adding avocados. I usually add celery for some added crunch. I’m definitely giving this a try! 🙂
