Notes

This avocado chicken salad is versatile; feel free to add or substitute ingredients like corn, black beans, or fruits like grapes for sweetness. To prevent browning, always add lime or lemon juice and store in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed to the surface. Pair it with whole grain crackers, in lettuce wraps, or over a bed of greens for a complete meal. Enjoy it as a healthy option for lunch or dinner!
