- You can cook and shred chicken breast but if you're after a super quick recipe, use rotisserie chicken.
- You want ripe avocados for this recipe. If the avocado gives in to firm gentle pressure you know it's ripe and ready-to-eat.
- Add extra crunch with carrots, cucumbers, or chopped cabbage.
- Add fiber by folding in some drained chickpeas. This makes the salad even heartier.
- Use this Healthy Chicken Salad as a sandwich spread - so good!
- For a bit of heat, add some chili flakes.
- A whole host of herbs work well with this, other than parsley. You can go with dill, tarragon, chives, or cilantro.
- You could also add some chopped fresh, or pickled, jalapenos.
- For a pop of sweetness, try adding chopped apples, red grapes, dried cranberries, or raisins.
- Try different seasonings. Seasonings really change the flavor profile of this salad. You could try Try steak seasoning, Everything Bagel seasoning, lemon pepper, curry powder, or Cajun seasoning.
