Avocado Chicken Salad

This is chicken salad for people who don't want all that mayo — and honestly, it might be better. Ripe avocado mashed with lime juice replaces the mayonnaise entirely, creating a creamy, rich base that's packed with healthy fats instead of the processed stuff. The key is using avocados that give slightly when you press them — not rock hard, not brown and mushy. Add diced chicken, red onion, cilantro, a little jalapeño if you want some heat, cherry tomatoes, and a good pinch of cumin. It tastes fresh, light, and distinctly different from traditional chicken salad. Serve it in lettuce cups for a low-carb lunch or spread it thick on toasted sourdough when you want something more substantial.
