Chicken, Avocado, and Herb Salad
Mix up mayonnaise and Dijon mustard, fold in chicken or turkey like you’re making chicken salad, then give a rough stir with some avocado, which joins the mayo-mustard to make a creamy dressing. Toss that with salad greens and add whatever fresh herbs you have, and you'll have a lunch that is not only quick and super easy but also extra delicious.
½ tablespoon mayonnaise
½ tablespoon Dijon mustard
4 ounces cooked, shredded chicken or turkey
½ avocado, chopped
2 cups mixed greens
Handful of arugula
2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (I like a mix of dill, tarragon, and thyme. You could also throw in cilantro, basil, mint – whatever you have and like)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard, then fold in the turkey until it is coated. Add the avocado, and give everything a rough stir, slightly mashing some of the avocado so that it blends with the mayo-mustard to make a creamy dressing. Toss with the greens, arugula, and herbs. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
