Elise Bauer’s secret to tastier chicken salad.
Avocado is creamy, rich, and can jive with different flavor profiles.
Most importantly, is not mayonnaise!

I started out by mashing the avocado with lime juice and salt to make a creamy base.
It was rich and creamy but still felt light.
The flavor is somewhat reminiscent of a green goddess dressing.

I look forward to making a super herbaceous version of this once my backyard herbs really start to thrive!
I added enough lime juice to prevent the avocado from browning for about eight hours in the fridge.
Any longer, it would have turned brown.
