Servings: 4 people
Calories: 188kcal
Ingredients
- 2 large avocados
- 12oz can of chicken drained or 1.5 cups chicken breast
- ½ cup diced onion
- 1 seeded and minced jalapeno
- 1 minced garlic clove
- 1.5 tablespoons lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients in a bowl and mash well with a potato masher or fork.
- Refrigerate and serve cold as a salad, sandwich or dip!
- Garnish with extra jalapeno and cilantro if desired.
Notes
- If cooking your own chicken instead of using canned chicken, more salt will be needed than ¼ teaspoon since canned chicken is very salty.
- Add more or less spice as needed for your taste buds!
- When storing, place saran wrap on top and press it into the salad so that it reduces oxygen exposure and delays it from turning brown.
