Healthy Avocado Chicken Salad
Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad just got a whole lot cooler!
If you love chicken salad and avocados, then you are going to go ga-ga for this recipe. After my first bite , I had an OMG moment. How can this taste THIS GOOD and be HEALTHY!
To make this recipe even more awesome, I used 1/2 mayo and 1/2 plain Greek Yogurt. This plus the creamy chunks of avocado really do take this recipe up a notch. Double bonus…. my daughters also loved it 🙂 So next time you are thinking about whipping up some chicken salad, please do yourself a favor and give this amazing recipe a try.

Awesome!!! I made it with left over (home made) Cafe Rio chicken. So good!
Sounds yummy Lynn 🙂
Prior to finding this recipe I would have said I don’t like chicken salad. This recipe is a game changer! My husband and I absolutely loved it! I added more cilantro because we can never get enough of it, and served it on fresh kaiser rolls. It will be a new regular in our house! Thanks Corey!
That is so awesome Jill. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this comment. It totally made my day 🙂 XOXO
I made this and love it!! Is there any way to keep the avacado from turning brown with the left overs? Still delicious but not so pretty!
You can use some lemon juice to prevent the avocado from turning brown!
Great tip Holly 🙂

(I plugged this into a recipe calculator, but I didn’t use the mayo & I used nonfat greek yogurt )
I made this for dinner tonight and it was phenomenal! So so good. I didn’t have the stuff to make mayo on hand, so I just doubled the Greek yogurt. Such a simple and delicious recipe. Definitely a keeper. Thank you so much for sharing!
