Avocado Chicken Salad

Easy and Healthy! Avocado chicken salad with avocado, chopped cooked chicken, apple, celery, and onion. No Mayo! The concept is simple—a quick, basic chicken salad that uses mashed avocado as a binder instead of the more traditional mayonnaise.

Avocado replaces the fat of the mayonnaise, but not the seasoning. So we’re adding salt, pepper, and a good dose of lime juice. I’m also adding plenty of chopped fresh cilantro, you could easily use parsley instead.
