Creamy Avocado Chicken Salad with Corn and Tomatoes
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
2 medium ripe avocados, diced
1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen and thawed, or canned and drained)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced (optional)
1 tablespoon lime juice
For the Creamy Dressing:
1/3 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Directions:
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, sour cream, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as needed. If the dressing is too thick, add a teaspoon of water or a little extra lime juice to achieve a pourable consistency.
If using freshly cooked chicken, allow it to cool slightly before shredding. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and dice them into approximately 1/2-inch cubes.
Place the diced avocado in a bowl and gently toss with 1 tablespoon of lime juice to help prevent browning and add freshness.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced avocado, corn kernels, cherry tomatoes, chopped cilantro, and red onion if using.
Using a large spoon or spatula, gently fold the ingredients together to avoid breaking up the avocado.
Pour the prepared creamy dressing over the salad mixture.
Using a gentle folding motion, mix until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste the salad and adjust with additional salt, black pepper, or lime juice if desired.
Cover and refrigerate for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to blend together.
Serve chilled and enjoy.
