Creamy Chicken Salad Recipe With Egg & Avocado Is High-Protein & High-Fiber (9 Ingredients, 20 Minutes) by 30Seconds Food

"Here’s a super quick, protein-packed, chopped salad recipe to use up any leftover roasted chicken (or turkey)," says Rachel Maser, mom of four and founder/creator of the clean eating blog, Clean Food Crush®. "This dressing is light, creamy and tangy, so it dresses up the simple ingredients perfectly! I really love the crunch of celery and onions in these types of salads, so go ahead and add more if you like. This salad is best eaten within 24 hours, so if you’re not serving it right away, then put it in the fridge and don’t forget about it!"
