Avocado Chicken Salad Sandwich
A quick, delicious, and healthier version of chicken salad. Perfect for those busy weeknights or an easy weekend lunch!
Ingredients
- 1 (ripe) avocado, sliced
- 4 tsp. lemon juice
- 4 scant tbsp. plain yogurt,
- 4 scant tbsp. mayonnaise
- 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded (about 4 cups)
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 6 english muffins, sliced
Sandwich Toppings
- Cheese, sliced
- Pickles, sliced
- Lettuce
- Tomatoes, sliced
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice, yogurt, and mayonnaise until mostly smooth (chunks are perfectly okay!).
- Add chicken and red onion, stirring until thoroughly coated. Add salt and pepper to taste. The salad is best if it can sit in the refrigerator for a bit but is still delicious served immediately on top of a toasted English muffin, bread, or lettuce. Don't forget to add your favorite toppings!
Notes
- This is a very adaptable recipe. A "throw in what you like or take out what you don't" type! Sometimes I'll added about 1 cup of shredded cheese or dice up pickles and throw those in. This sandwich is your oyster!
- You can use all yogurt to make this salad very healthy, but I personally love the flavor a little mayo adds!
