I don’t know how to break it to my longtime friend chicken salad, but there’s a new kid in town. I always loved chicken salad with soft grapes, crunchy nuts, minimal mayo, and delicious hunks of chicken. I mean, it’s a classic. How do you not love it?
That’s what I thought until this recipe waltzed right into my life via Pinterest obviously….this chicken salad has lime, cilantro, and avocado in it! So much greeny goodness I can barely stand it!! Cilantro is my new fave ingredient to cook with. It brings a great boldness to a recipe….a little swift kick to the mouth if you will. But in the best, most refreshing way.
I can’t say enough good about this chicken salad recipe. And the hubs verdict? Well, I could barely understand what he was saying about it because he couldn’t put it down long enough to tell me initially. Yes, it’s that good and different and refreshing and with minimum mayo relatively healthy. Read on to learn how you can make this too.
