Creamy avocado and a little yogurt stand in for mayo in this bright, limey chicken salad — great over greens, in a wrap, or straight from the bowl.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1/2 cup celery, diced
  • 2 tbsp red onion, finely diced
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. Mash the avocado with the lime juice, yogurt, salt and pepper in a large bowl until creamy with a few chunks left — the lime keeps it bright green.
  2. Add the chicken, celery, red onion and cilantro.
  3. Fold everything together until the chicken is coated in the avocado dressing, then taste and adjust lime and salt.
  4. Serve right away over greens, in a wrap or with crackers — or chill with plastic wrap pressed onto the surface for up to a day.
