Guacamole Chicken Salad

Here’s a Mexican inspired spin on chicken salad.  Creamy avocado, diced tomatoes, cilantro, green onion and lime add bold flavor and zing to shredded chicken making a great sandwich filling or tortilla topping.

1 cup chicken, cooked and shredded
1 small ripe avocado
1/2 small vine tomato, seeded and diced
1-2 sprigs cilantro, leaves chopped finely
1/2 green onion (white and light parts only), chopped finely
1/2 lime, juiced
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
3 turns fresh cracked black pepper


In a bowl, mash avocado until smooth.  Mix in the tomato, cilantro, green onion, lime juice, salt and pepper.  Toss in the shredded chicken and mix well until fully coated.
