Avocado Chicken Salad

One of the hardest things about working in an office is the constant temptation to go out to lunch with coworkers and the endless supply of leftover Christmas candy that people dump in the communal basket. I know I am not the only one that experiences this and it’s so easy to give in to the temptation of pitching in for the pizza being ordered for lunch or walking across the street for an order of McDonalds french fries. What’s not always so easy is coming up with healthy lunch ideas that keep you interested (you can only take the same turkey sandwich so many times), feeling full, and away from the extra junk food. 

Because Bryan and I make the effort to pack a lunch every day and sometimes have very little time to heat meals up, we had to find some more cold lunch ideas. I knew we had a new favorite when I found that you could use avocado and plain greek yogurt as a chicken salad base instead of mayonnaise. There’s many delicious versions of chicken salad using these ingredients but I experimented with ours a few times to get it to our liking. It’s easy to play around with the amount of lime, salt, and yogurt to make your perfect salad. 

I often pair this with Sweet Potato Chips. ‘Food Should Taste Good’ is my favorite brand of these and add a perfect crunch to this very simple meal. Some other ideas include pita bread, cucumber slices, baby carrots, or a slice of wheat toast. I have also made this as an appetizer for a group and served with small crackers. 

This has become a staple in our home and I hope that you enjoy it too!

This makes about four 1-cup servings. Each serving is 6 WW Points.
