Apple, Chicken and Avocado Salad

This is just as perfect as your traditional chicken salad but we swapped out the mayo for avocado and added a light lime and herb dressing. This recipe is great for those following a Paleo nutrition plan, or those with egg sensitivities.

This recipe may take over your old chicken salad recipe.

Apple, Chicken and Avocado Salad:

Ingredients:

1. 2 cups of cooked chicken (baked, grilled or rotisserie work great)
2. 1 avocado, seeded, peeled and chopped
3. 1 apple, chopped
4. 1/3 cup celery, chopped
5. 1/8 cup red onion, finely chopped
6. 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
7. 2 tablespoons, extra virgin olive oil
8. 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
9. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
10. salt and pepper

Directions:

In a bowl or mason jar, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, parsley, and season with salt and pepper. Shake or whisk together. Combine remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the chicken mixture. Toss gently until combined. Serve as is, on a bibb lettuce leaf, a warm tortilla, or fresh bread.
