Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 2 ripe avocados, mashed
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Place the shredded chicken in a medium bowl.
- Add the mashed avocado, Greek yogurt (if using), lime juice, celery, red onion, dill, and Dijon mustard to the bowl.
- Use a fork or spoon to mix all ingredients until the mixture is well combined and creamy. Do not overmix; some texture is desirable.

- Serve immediately, or cover and chill for at least 30 minutes for flavors to meld.
Notes
- For a Paleo or Keto option, omit the Greek yogurt.
- Serve this salad on lettuce cups, gluten-free bread, or over mixed greens for a light meal.
- If you are making this ahead for meal prep, add the lime juice to help prevent the avocado from browning quickly.
