Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced
  • 2 large ripe avocados, diced
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)

Method
 

  1. Dice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and dice the flesh. Place in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add lime juice to the avocado immediately and toss gently to coat.
  4. Add the diced chicken to the bowl with the avocado and mix gently.
  5. Fold in the Greek yogurt until everything is evenly coated.
  6. Add chopped cilantro, diced red onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir gently.
  7. If using cherry tomatoes, fold them in last.
  8. Let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use ripe but firm avocados. Add lime juice immediately after cutting avocados to prevent browning. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
