Your Next Chicken Salad Deserves A Creamy Condiment That's Not Mayo
by JARED KAUFMAN
If you want to consume less mayonnaise but don't want to miss out on that creamy, silky texture in your chicken salad, avocado can be a great swap with some additional benefits.
Avocados contain potassium, vitamin K, and fats that support body functions. Eating them daily may result in fewer painful muscle cramps, healthier bones, and lower cholesterol.
However, if you're concerned that using avocado alone in your chicken salad won't yield the creaminess you're searching for, feel free to boost the texture by adding Greek yogurt.
The yogurt will impart some extra silkiness that some might otherwise miss from mayo-based salads. Moreover, it’s high in protein, low in fat, and contains gut-friendly bacteria.
