What's for Lunch? Summer Chicken Salad w/ Avocado, Cilantro & Lime

This is a delicious way to make chicken salad.

I was drooling over the recipe on Kalyn's Kitchen, and thought this would be the perfect summer sandwich and be able to incorporate my beloved avocado into a recipe.

Why do I eat avocados only in the summer? They are available from Mexico and California all year round, but they just seem like a warm weather thing to me.

Kalyn uses low-fat mayo, so go ahead if you like it, but I am a Hellman's girl, so I use the real deal.

Chicken Salad w/ Avocado, Cilantro & Lime: (adapted from Kalyn's Kitchen)

1 cup of leftover roasted chicken
2 small ripe avocados, cut into small cubes
3 scallions, sliced thin
1/4 cup of minced red onion
salt & pepper
juice of a lemon or lime
2 tbsp of mayo
handful of fresh cilantro, chopped

Mix all the ingredients together, gently folding the avocado cubes in last.

Season w/ salt & pepper and cilantro at the end.

This was great on whole grain bread eaten at the beach!

Enjoy summer!
