Instructions

Preparations
    Cup of Yum
  1. Shred the chicken with two forks and finely chop the spring onion.
  2. Peel and pit the avocado, then chop it. We are using ¾ of the avocado in the salad and ¼ avocado in the dressing.
Dressing
  1. Add the dressing ingredients to a small blender and blend until smooth. Alternatively, use a stick blender, or mash in a shallow bowl with a fork. Option to add a splash of water to thin out the dressing to your liking, or add more lemon juice to taste.
Assembly

Notes

  • This recipe makes two portions, each containing approximately 8g net carbohydrates.
  • Serve the salad as a sandwich filling, in pita bread, on lettuce, crackers, cucumber slices, or stuffed into hollowed tomatoes or bell peppers.
  • Best eaten fresh; store leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to two days to prevent avocado browning.
  • Press clingfilm directly onto the salad surface to minimize exposure to air and preserve freshness.
