    This was too salty for my taste 🙁

    1. Well, that’s an easy fix 🙂 I would suggest removing the salt all together then, and adding a little at a time 🙂

    2. I left out the cilantro. It was too salty for me too. I think I’ll cut all the spices in half or leave them out altogether and add more lime juice to bring out the avocado flavor. I will definitely make it again, though. Thanks for posting this.
      Nothing can compare to the barbecue chicken on this site, which I am making today!

  2. This is one of the few recipes I’ve found on Pinterest that I haven’t modified in any way. Completely outstanding. This brings chicken salad to a whole new level without resorting to the tried and true nuts, cranberries, grapes, and apples. Can’t wait to look through your other recipes!
