Chicken and Avocado Salad with Lime and Cilantro

By HomeCookin

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded into large pieces
• 2 medium avocados, diced
• 1 T + 1 T fresh squeezed lime juice
• salt, to taste
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion
• 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro (or chop it more coarsely if you prefer)
• 2 T mayo or light mayo

Preparation

Step 1

Shred the chicken. Dice the avocados into medium-sized pieces, mix with 1 T of the lime juice, and season avocado with salt to taste. Thinly slice the green onion and finely chop the cilantro. Mix mayo and 1 T lime juice to make the dressing.

Put the chicken into a bowl large enough to hold all the salad ingredients. Add the sliced green onions and dressing and toss until all the chicken is coated with dressing. Add the avocado and any lime juice in the bottom of the bowl and gently combine with the chicken. Then add the chopped cilantro and gently mix into the salad, just until it is barely combined.

Serve right away or chill for a while before serving. Makes a great sandwich filling too!
