Chicken salad is an essential American classic. We can kick out the mayo, mustard, or whatever other sugary mixers you stir into yours. This time, our super-friend, Avocado, brings this delicious recipe together. Despite using only butter lettuce leaves as the chicken salad delivery vessel, this makes a fantastically filling lunch. You won’t be craving your next meal anytime soon.

      Had this for dinner tonight. Was ok as made, a little bland. Added some ground chipotle powder & a little more lime. Texture was a little off for me, so I used Zero Mission tortillas with a little Queso cheese warmed in the microwave. Turned a good filling with the greens & a few added pepitos.

        I love the Zero Mission tortillas (my fav is Sundried tomato basil). I like to put 6 on a paper plate, spray with coconut or butter spray, add 2 tbs of grated Parm, and s/t .25 cup of shredded mozzarella. Makes little crunchy pizzas to break up and eat. My microwave takes 5 min. Some microwaves I’ve used are ready at 4 min. The only carbs in this come from the type mozzarella I use — 2 carbs. Total cals = 210 for the whole plate. Very good. 🙏😎🖖

      I added freshly chopped bacon bits and diced jalapeños to mine (a bit more lime juice too) it was great 👍🏼

        Very delicious 😋. I just cut it all up and popped it in a bowl and drizzled the dressing over the top. Will certainly eat on a regular basis

          Well, you like Avocados for on. Not such a fan but know they are good way to obtain good fats. So I added some mayo and walnuts and celery and a little Splenda to make it my own. Not to bad

                No, 1 serving is 3 lettuce cups. The recipe is 2 servings, 3 lettuce cups per serving (about 1/3 cup in each lettuce cup).

              Surprisingly yummy! I didn’t have high hopes because avocado is not one of my favorites but it was super delicious!

                Hubby and I really enjoyed these! So filling too. Topped with Ring of Fire Habanero hot sauce and it paired great with them. Definitely will be a staple meal especially during the hot summers.

                      Looks like lunch today! As an aside, mustard isn’t sugary at least not the yellow, spicy brown or the dijon I keep on hand.

                            Quick and easy to prepare. I buy a rotisserie chicken and have the dark meat for 1-2 meals and then use up the chicken breast to make this salad. Tastes great too

                              Yum. Definitely 2 servings for me. It’s filling. I did not add any salt and it was still tasty.

                                Lovely with dukkah (traditional) sprinkled on the avocado mixture before eating in cos lettuce - soooo good.

                                              Good but way too salty! Cut the salt in half or even less.

                                                A little too salty for me. Next time I'd decrease the salt in half but overall it was delicious.

                                                  Really delicious, and so simple! The butter lettuce I bought was chopped up, but I just stir in a bunch and treat the whole thing as a salad side dish. Perfect for summer.
