Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced

1 ripe avocado, mashed

1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Leafy greens for serving (such as lettuce or spinach)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: If not already done, cook and shred the chicken. You can use rotisserie chicken for convenience or grill your own chicken breasts.

    Make the Dressing: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed avocado, Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), Dijon mustard, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

      Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped red onion, and cilantro (if using). Pour the avocado dressing over the mixture.

        Toss to Combine: Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold the ingredients together until everything is evenly coated in the creamy dressing. Be cautious to not overmix as you want some chunks of avocado for texture.

          Taste and Adjust: Give the salad a taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed.

            Chill and Serve: If time allows, refrigerate the chicken salad for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve on a bed of leafy greens or as a filling for whole-grain wraps.

              Enjoy: Serve immediately or store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
