Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded

1 ripe avocado, mashed

1/4 cup Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon lime juice

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon cumin

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mashed avocado, Greek yogurt, and mayonnaise. Mix until well combined, creating a creamy base.

    Add the lime juice to the mixture and stir to incorporate. This will not only add flavor but also prevent the avocado from browning.

      Gently fold in the halved cherry tomatoes, chopped red onion, and cilantro. Use a spatula to combine without mashing the ingredients too much.

        Season the salad with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cumin. Adjust the seasoning to taste, ensuring that the flavors are well balanced.

          Chill the salad in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This step is optional but highly recommended.

            Serve the salad on a bed of greens, in sandwiches, or with whole grain crackers as a dip.
