[/ezcol_1third]This avocado chicken salad is great by itself or as a side at your next picnic or BBQ. You can also try it in a sandwich. To cut down on the calories, without sacrificing the taste, we use fat-free greek yogurt instead of mayo. 100 grams of mayo has 680 calories, compared to 59 calories in fat-free greek yogurt. This recipe is gluten-free. If you’d like to make this dish dairy-free, simply omit the greek yogurt and add a little olive oil.[ezcol_2third_end][/ezcol_2third_end]
