Looking for a versatile salad recipe that’s great on its own, paired with other veggies and also makes a great filling for a sandwich or wrap? This easy to make, creamy Chicken Avocado Salad is all of that, and more!
Step 1
Prepare rice according to package directions.
Step 2
Cut the avocados in half; remove the pit and carefully scoop out the flesh. Save the shells, if desired, to use as serving bowls.
Step 3
Roughly chop the avocado flesh. Toss together with lemon juice, mayonnaise, garlic, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
Step 4
Fold in chicken and rice. Chill for 30 minutes. Stuff the reserved shells with the salad or serve on lettuce leaves, if using.
Recipe Tips
If you’re out of Success® Brown Rice, don’t worry! Swap in Success® White Rice or Success® Basmati Rice.
If you’re not a fan of hot pepper sauce, simply omit this ingredient or substitute it with 1 teaspoon of ranch or Italian dressing.
For a mayo-free alternative, use Greek yogurt or sour cream, instead.
Try something different by substituting 1 cup of cooked shrimp for the chicken called for in the recipe.
