  • 1 large red bell pepper chopped
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onion
  • 3/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 avocados chopped

  • Rubber spatula

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients - Start by gathering all your ingredients. Using fresh, high-quality components will elevate your Holiday Chicken Salad.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Chicken - If you haven’t already, chop or shred your rotisserie chicken into bite-sized pieces. The pre-cooked chicken saves time and adds great flavor.
  3. Step 3: Chop the Vegetables - Next, chop the red bell pepper, slice the green onions, and roughly chop the cilantro. The colors will create a festive look, while the flavors will complement the chicken beautifully.
  4. Step 4: Avocado Magic - Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Drizzle with fresh-squeezed lime juice to prevent browning and add a zesty flavor.
  5. Step 5: Combine Ingredients - In a large mixing bowl, add the chopped chicken, bell pepper, green onion, cilantro, and Feta cubes. Gently fold in the avocado last to keep it intact.
  6. Step 6: Mix and Serve - Using a rubber spatula, carefully mix all the ingredients until well combined. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for an hour to let the flavors meld.

Notes

  • For a lower-fat option, use Greek yogurt instead of Feta or reduce the amount of avocado.
  • Swap out the rotisserie chicken for cooked chickpeas for a vegetarian version.
  • Use lime zest along with lime juice for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
