It's hard to top a good chicken salad, especially when summer temps start to rise. They're a great way to use up leftover or rotisserie chicken, meaning you won't have to turn on the stove or oven to get the meal ready. You can go cool, creamy and traditional with just some mayonnaise and pickle relish, or branch out and experiment with different flavors and combinations to find your new favorite chicken salad recipe.

Avocado Chicken Salad

Avocado Chicken Salad Recipe

Fresh, tasty, and delicious is how this 5-star, avocado chicken salad recipe is commonly described. Even better than Wendy's Southwest Avocado Chicken Salad (seriously), this particular recipe uses vinaigrette instead of mayonnaise but doesn’t lose its creamy texture, thanks to avocado. Salsa and fresh cilantro give this easy chicken salad its south-of-the-border flavors. So, instead of layering over a bed of greens, serve with tortilla chips for scooping and an added crunch. This recipe works for any week day lunch or even for a Cinco de Mayo celebration.
