I don’t know about you, but I am trying to squeeze the last little bit of summer in while I can. And my Avocado Chicken Salad sure makes me daydream about palm trees and white sand beaches! This recipe is so simple to prepare and perfect for a quick lunch!

And if your mind has already switched to FOOTBALL this recipe would make fantastic sandwiches for a tailgate. Think of all of the calories you are saving using the avocado for it’s natural creaminess instead of more mayonnaise. If you are planning a tailgate party my recipe for Quick & Easy Havarti sliders is another great recipe you can make to fill up a bunch of hungry fans!

On previous posts I have shared how much I love my Microplane & my citrus juicer. Well I use them both again here for my Avocado Chicken Salad. My Microplane gets used multiple times a week. And I could say the same for my citrus juicer. I have linked my exact Microplane and a similar juicer here.
