Gluten-Free Avocado Chicken Salad

I love avocados and I thought, “Why not mix it up with chicken for an avocado chicken salad sandwich or atop a salad?” I allow myself a serving of avocado once a week, as a treat. Adding a little Greek yogurt makes this recipe even less in calories. Or you can use mayonnaise. This is a quick, easy avocado chicken salad recipe that anyone can make. And it’s great for using up left over chicken.

Gluten-Free Avocado Chicken Salad Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 broiled or boiled chicken breast
• 1/2 avocado, peeled and pitted
• 3 Tablespoons Greek yogurt (FAGE is my favorite) (or skip it and add more avocado to make it dairy free)
• 1 to 1-1/2 Tablespoons finely chopped red onion (to taste)
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar (or rice vinegar if you are corn intolerant)
• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Mash avocado in a medium size bowl.
2. Stir in Greek yogurt, vinegar and onion.
3. Tear chicken into small pieces and add to bowl and stir.
4. Salt and pepper to taste.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve on bread, as a sandwich or atop a salad.

Tip

• You can substitute the red onion and vinegar for about 6 chopped pickled cocktail onions.
• If on a gluten free diet, use rice vinegar, or Heinz white distilled vinegar which is made from corn. Heinz wine vinegar and apple cider vinegars are made from apples and grapes, therefore, are gluten-free. Though most manufacturers claim that anything which is distilled processes any gluten out.
