Ingredients

4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken 480g, 16oz
1 medium avocado 150g
1 cup plain Greek yogurt non-fat 228g, or yogurt of choice
1 cup fresh parsley 60g
1/2 cup fresh dill 4g, loosely packed
1/2 cup fresh mint 12g
1 cup baby spinach
1/3 cup lemon juice 80ml, about 1 1/2 large lemons
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 30ml
2 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt 3g, more to taste
Black pepper to taste
1-2 tablespoons water optional to thin it out
green onion, red onion, or chopped cucumber optional

Equipment

Food processor or high-speed blender
Large mixing bowl
Measuring cups and spoons

Method

Shred your rotisserie chicken by pulsing it a few times in the food processor, or use 2 forks instead depending on how finely you prefer your chicken in a chicken salad.
In a food processor or high-speed blender, add your dressing ingredients (avocado, Greek yogurt, parsley, dill, mint, spinach, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper) and blend until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Add a bit of water as needed to thin it out.
Add the chicken to a large bowl and pour the dressing on top. Give it a good mix to combine the dressing, making sure the chicken is coated.
Optional: if you want, add in green onions, red onion, cucumber, or mashed white beans for extra texture and flavor.

Notes

Use fresh lemon juice instead of bottled for best flavor. Choose a ripe avocado that's slightly soft but not mushy. Pack dill loosely in measuring cup. Store in airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
