Instructions to make A Healthier Chicken Salad:
  1. In a food processor or blender, pulse the onion and celery until you have a fine chop. About four or five pulses. Set aside in a bowl.
  2. In the same processor, add in the avocado, lime juice, greek yogurt, salt, pepper, paprika and sriracha if using. Pulse until smooth.
  3. Cooked chicken can be shredded or very finely chopped. I prefer to chop it finely by hand. Canned all white meat chicken, drained, can be used for an even quicker meal.
  4. In a large bowl, mix everything together. I chop parsley and add it in at the last minute.
  5. You can serve it at room temperature or chilled for 1 hour before serving.
  6. Use this in a sandwich or over a bed of lettuce. Or dip some crackers in it!
