Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, diced (grilled or rotisserie chicken works well)

1 ripe avocado, diced

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (can substitute with mayonnaise)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup celery, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and a pinch of cayenne pepper for extra flavor

Lettuce leaves or whole grain bread for serving

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, diced avocado, red onion, cherry tomatoes, celery, and herbs.

    In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper if using, until smooth and creamy.

      Pour the dressing over the chicken and avocado mixture. Gently stir to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado too much.

        Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

          Serve the salad on a bed of lettuce leaves or as a filling in a sandwich or wrap. Enjoy!
