No Mayo Chicken Salad
The time has come that I share my famous chicken salad dish that seems to always be a fan favorite. Not to toot my own horn, but...TOOT TOOT! I make this sucker for every picnic, holiday party, work party, etc., and everyone is shocked when I tell them the dressing has zero mayonnaise in it! It’s just too good and SO darn easy!
Whatcha need:
1 head of lettuce (I use romaine), diced
4 sticks of celery, diced
1/2 onion, diced
1 rotisserie chicken, diced
1-2 handfuls of raisins (add more for more sweetness)
1 1/2-2 large ripe avocados
Drizzle of avocado oil (you can use olive oil, but I love Chosen Foods). Less oil is more for this recipe
Salt & Pepper to taste
Steps:
Throw everything together in a mixing bowl Now, here’s the secret to making this sucker creamy and the consistency of mayo. You take your hands and mash the avocado throughout the entire bowl of ingredients. Mash, mix, mash and mix. That’s the trick ladies and gentlemen. That is my big kept secret!
And get creative! I’ve added shaved almonds, cranberries, and bacon for different occasions. You can always use canned tuna or bake and dice up your own chicken breast. Oh and if you want it extra creamy just add more avocado!
