This creamy avocado chicken salad is a healthier twist on the traditional recipe, using mashed avocado in place of mayonnaise for a boost of healthy fats. The avocado adds a creamy texture and rich flavor, while the addition of lime juice brightens the dish.
Combined with fresh vegetables, this chicken salad is perfect for a light and nutritious meal. Serve it on toast, in a wrap, or as a dip for veggies.
