Avocado Chicken Salad

(photo from thekitchencookie.blogspot.com)

I've had this pinned on Pinterest for a while and when I got 10 avocados in our Guacamole Pack from Bountiful Baskets I decided to try it.  I made it just as the recipe calls but I didn't cook enough chicken so I probably only had about 2 cups but it would definitely be better with more chicken.  For the cabbage, I used Napa Cabbage because it also came in my Bountiful Basket and I probably had slightly more than it called for (plus I like it better than regular cabbage).  I made it when Mom was in town & Serena had it with us and we all loved it!! (at least they said they did haha)    I would recommend slicing the avocado and arranging it on the plate then putting the salad on top instead of filling the avocado like in the picture~it was kind of hard to eat out of the avocado. 

We just loved the chicken salad! It would be delish in a pita pocket or just as a sandwich.  The almonds, celery & cabbage gave it a good crunch!  YUM!!

Here's the recipe:

3 cups chicken, cooked and shredded

1 cup cabbage, shredded

½ - ¾ cup celery, diced

¼ cup green onions, chopped

½ cup sliced almonds

Dressing:

1 cup mayonnaise

2½ teaspoons mustard

1½ teaspoons sugar

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon pepper

Milk, to desired consistency  (I didn't use milk)

Combine all dressing ingredients & whisk together.  Set aside.  Combine chicken, veggies, and almonds then stir in the dressing.  Then top avocado with chicken salad.

Enjoy!
