Buy

• 1 cup finely chopped cooked chicken (rotisserie)
• 1 ripe avocado , seeded and peeled
• 1 apple , peeled, cored, and finely chopped
• 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
• 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
• 2 teaspoons lime juice or a tablespoon of lemon juice
• Sandwich bread or salad greens

On Hand

• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• Pinch of freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

• Place the chicken , avocado , apple , celery , and red onion in a medium bowl. Gently mash the avocado with a fork and stir it around so that everything gets well mixed.
• Add the cilantro or parsley, lime juice or lemon juice, salt , and pepper. Add more lime juice or salt to taste. If the mixture seems a little dry, you can stir in a teaspoon or two of olive oil.
• To store, place in a bowl and cover completely with plastic wrap so that no part of the chicken salad is exposed to air. Will keep a couple of days in the fridge.
• Serve on sandwich bread , toasted bread , or salad greens (I recommend arugula or watercress for extra zing).
