Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced

1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted

1/4 cup Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

1/4 cup celery, finely chopped

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, add the ripe avocado. Using a fork, mash the avocado until creamy but still slightly chunky.

Stir in the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Add the shredded chicken to the avocado mixture, and fold gently to coat the chicken evenly with the dressing.

Incorporate the finely chopped celery and red onion, and mix carefully to avoid breaking up the avocado too much.

Gently fold in the halved cherry tomatoes.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to your liking.

Serve the chicken salad on a bed of greens, in a sandwich, or in lettuce wraps. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley.
