Easy Avocado Chicken Salad

Easy Avocado Chicken Salad

Ingredients:

  • 2 large cooked chicken breasts shredded or chopped
  • 2 large avocados
  • 1 cup corn from 1 cooked cob
  • 6 oz lean bacon cooked and chopped
  • 1/4 cup Chives (or green onion), chopped
  • 2 Tbsp Dill chopped, or to taste

Lemon Dressing:

  • 3 Tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt or to taste
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

Directions:

Dice or shred the 2 large cooked chicken breasts and place into a large mixing bowl.

Peel and pit 2 large avocados, slice into bite-sized pieces and add to the mixing bowl.

Add 1 cup of cooked corn (freshly cooked corn is best), toss in 1/4 cup chopped green onion, chopped bacon, and 2 Tbsp fresh Dill.

Add dressing ingredients to a small bowl and stir to combine. Drizzle over your salad and toss to combine. Serve with slices of hard boiled egg if desired.

Recipe Notes

*You can use rotisserie chicken, cook your own chicken breast seasoned with salt and pepper or use well-drained canned chicken.
**For a healthier salad, you can use uncured turkey bacon which tastes amazing, but has less fat.
