Avocado Chicken Salad

I thought a car was the worst thing to be without.
I was wrong.
The worst thing to be without is a computer!
Ours has been "in the shop" for a week and it has been the longest week of my life.  Sad but true.  I had to keep calling Holly to ask for my own recipes that I can't remember because I throw away the hard copies when I put them on the blog.  I have to admit, though, that I sure got a lot more done around here without the computer to sit down in front of.  Who knew I could survive without Facebook, recipe blogs, and all those other fun things I "have" to look at everyday??? 
Enough about my computer woes.  Here's a really good recipe that you are going to want to make.  I went to a church meeting where there was a tasting table (love those) and this was one of the tasty dishes.
chicken, cooked and shredded
avocado
mayo, just a little
green onion, sliced
cilantro
lime juice to taste
salt/pepper to taste

*Sorry there aren't any measurements.  I just asked what was in it and then made it to my liking.  I probably had 2 cups of chicken and then just threw the rest in until it tasted good.  I only used 1 avocado but if you really love avocados, you could use more.  I loved the lime juice, so I kept adding more of it little by little.  You definitely need a little salt, but the pepper is just if you want to.  I used a lot of cilantro and a moderate amount of green onion.  Probably 2-3 of them.  You can serve this in pitas or just eat it with chips.  We loved it and it was really good leftover, too.

This was wonderful - and completely legal on my low-carb diet. I wrapped it in a low-carb tortilla with lettuce. Yum!

Sooo good!! Made with a couple tablespoons of sour cream instead of mayo. Delish!!

How do you cook the chicken? Boil it beforehand? No spices or anything?

Rachel Cunningham said...

You could boil it or cook it in the crockpot with a little water. I just season it with salt and pepper.

This is really good, I'm making it right now for dinner and after a taste test, it's GOOD! I am adding black beans to it though.

no car, so computer essential - salad sounds good, no onions, no pepper. Hate both.
Good blog, you. Found on Pinterest, love it.

This looks amazing! Found you from a link on a friend's fb page. Do you mash the avocado or cube it?
