Made this yesterday. TRULY phenomenal. This will be a staple for my lunches in the future. Chicken salad is one of my favorite things EVER and this is such a healthy tasty version I feel good about it. Thank you so much!
I saw this recipe two days ago, made it yesterday and thought this was fantastic. The only thing I did differently, was left out the cilantro (because I didn’t have any), and instead of leaving the avocado cubed, I put it in a ninja blender with all the other ingredients (except chicken), and blended until it became sort of a creamy dip consistency. Scooped it all out, shredded the chicken in the blender, mixed the two together in a bowl and threw it in the fridge for 30 mins. I ate it on pita with lettuce.
Thank you so much for such an easy, flavorful, healthy recipe. I’ve already shared it with friends.
Looks great! Can this be made the night before? Or will the avocado turn bad overnight?
Yes Anne! I make a big batch and have used it for up to 3 days after 🙂
I’m a big fan of anything avocado and cilantro. I made this for dinner today and had no complaints. I tweaked the recipe with ground chicken and sauteed onions. Thanks for sharing this recipe with us.
Saute onions sound like a great addition Richard!
I just made this chicken salad and it’s the best one I have ever had. I’m trying to incorporate more avocado into my diet because I have never really been a fan…this is a great way to start. Truly the best chicken salad, ever.
Thank you so much Rachael!
