This recipe is my pride and joy. In reality, it's not a huge deal. But, chicken salad sandwiches are my thing. I am very picky though, I'm not a mayo girl. You know I love to lighten-up a recipe. So, this is one I've wanted to share for awhile. This is the perfect light chicken salad, we make it when we have leftover grilled chicken breasts, or extra rotisserie chicken. I love to make it and save it for lunch during the week - it's a perfect light bite to brighten up your dull lunches!
Wishing you best dishes and yummy dreams!

Mmm - that does look good. I'm not a fan of avocado. Can I leave it out without sacrificing anything crucial? I know for you it's flavor, but it's not doing anything like holding the salad together or anything, is it? I don't want the chicken salad police on my case.
You can totally leave the avocado out! We just love it here :)
Looks delist!! Pinning it now!! :-)
