Venezuelan Avocado Chicken Salad: No Mayo

If you love chicken salad, you’re going to go crazy for this one. My Venezuelan friend Sonia shared her recipe with me.

Shredded chicken is mixed with avocado, lime juice, jalapeño, bell pepper, white onion, garlic and cilantro. There’s no mayonnaise so it’s super healthy, paleo, dairy-free, and bursting with vibrant Latin flavors.
