Emily's Easy Avo Chicken Salad

I looooooove chicken salad,but loathe mayo. It is the definition of a dilemma. I can sometimes get past my mayo phobia if someone else makes the chicken salad, but if I am in anyway alerted to it’s presence in my food it’s game over. Cue my delight when a friend suggested I use some ripe avocados and left-over chicken to make this creative dish. It is deliciously savory and guilt free. Dijon, lemon juice and a pinch of garlic powder give this chicken salad a fresh yet deep flavor palate. It is amazing over greens or in a sandwich.

·      1 ripe avocado

·      1 tablespoon greek yogurt

·      1 teaspoon dijon mustard
