4
Ingredients
- 1 Rotisserie Chicken meat removed from the bones & shredded
- 3 Medium Ripe Avocados or 2 Large peeled & pitted
- 1/4 cup Red Onion minced
- 2 tbsp Lime Juice
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- Kosher Salt & Black Pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, place the peeled and pitted avocados. Add lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mash until you reach your desired texture (chunky or smooth).
- Add the shredded chicken and minced red onion to the avocado mixture. Gently stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Spoon the salad onto croissants, sandwich bread, lettuce wraps, or serve with crackers.
- Best enjoyed the same day. Store leftovers in an airtight container with plastic wrap directly on the surface to reduce browning. Use within 24 hours.
Notes
- Make sure your avocados are soft to the touch but not mushy. Ripe avocados will mash easily and give the salad its creamy texture.
- The finer you shred the chicken, the better it blends into the avocado mixture and stays on sandwiches or wraps without falling apart.
- Don’t wait to add the lime juice. It helps prevent the avocados from browning and gives the salad a bright flavor.
- Additional add-ins include: chopped tomato, corn, cilantro, green onions, and chopped cooked bacon.
