A mayo-less chicken salad with avocado and crunchy apple.
That was my idea as I set out to repeat the success we had with ourAvocado Tuna Salad.
than the second Bridget Jones (yikes).

At least I think so.
You will be the final judge.
The unexpected ingredient in this chicken salad is chopped apple.

Apple brings sweetness, tartness, and crunch to the chicken salad, helping to round out the flavors.
Avocado replaces the fat of the mayonnaise, but not the seasoning.
So we’re adding salt, pepper, and a good dose of lime juice.

I’m also adding plenty of chopped fresh cilantro, you could easily use parsley instead.
Gently mash the avocado with a fork and stir it around so that everything gets well mixed.
Add the cilantro or parsley, lime juice or lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Add more lime juice or salt to taste.
If the mixture seems a little dry, you might stir in a teaspoon or two of olive oil.
Will keep a couple of days in the fridge.
