"The concept is simple—a quick, basicchicken salad that uses mashed avocado as a binder instead of the more traditional mayonnaise. That was my idea as I set out to repeat the success wehad with our Avocado Tuna Salad. Itwould be a“sequel” of sorts,hopefully a sequel more like Toy Story 2(brilliant!) than the second Bridget Jones(yikes). Nailed it! At least I think so. You will be the final judge. The unexpected ingredient in this chicken salad is chopped apple. Apple brings sweetness, tartness, and crunchto the chicken salad, helping to round out the flavors. Avocado replaces the fat of the mayonnaise, but not the seasoning. So we’re adding salt, pepper, and a good dose of lime juice. I’m also adding plenty of chopped fresh cilantro, you could easily use parsley instead...."
