Hey everyone, it's Natasha of natashaskitchen.com. Today we're making an
avocado chicken salad that has so much flavor. It's creamy but light with the
avocado and so satisfying. We start with the star ingredient, chicken. I'm using
rotisserie chicken which makes this salad so easy. You can cook the chicken
breast yourself or use the well-drained canned chicken and a pinch. So dice or
shred 2 large chicken breasts and place them into a large mixing bowl. Next, we
add two large ripe avocados. Peel and pit each avocado and slice them into
bite-size pieces then add them to the mixing bowl. Add 1 cup of cooked corn and
I do think freshly cooked corn is the best. It adds a really nice sweet pop of
flavor to the salad. Add 1/4 cup of chopped green onion or chives which
makes this salad so fresh and fragrant. I cooked 6 ounces of bacon until browned
and crispy coarsely chop that up and add it to the salad bowl.
Finally, add two Tbsp of fresh dill and now let's make that easy lemon
dressing. squeeze three Tbsp of juice from one large lemon,
combine that with three Tbsp of extra virgin olive oil one tsp of
salt and 1/8 of a tsp of black pepper. Stir that together until combined
and that's all there is to it. This is one of my favorite dressings. It smells
so good! Drizzle it over your salad and toss everything to combine. I am excited
because this is lunch and I'm hungry! What time is it? Almost 5:00, its a late
lunch, but I can't wait. All that's left to do is the taste test so
that's exactly what we're going to do.
And I also like to serve the salad with eggs hard-boiled eggs because it makes
it just so satisfying. These are optional but nice. There we go, all right,
let's get a sample, a generous sample.
Mm-hmm, that's delicious. The lemon really shines in that dressing
and it makes it so fresh and bright. I love those little salty bites of bacon in
there and then so much avocado with healthy alternative to the creamy
chicken salad you see normally but definitely not lacking in flavor. You can
serve it as a salad, you can make sandwiches, put it in pitas, serve it in
lettuce wraps and it also is really good the next day so it's perfect for work or
school lunch. Yeah this salad is awesome. If you enjoyed this recipe, give me a great
