Ingredients
Scale
Salad
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie recommended)
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons onions, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 avocado, seeded, peeled, diced
Wraps
- About 16 romaine hearts or bibb lettuce leaves, washed and dried
Instructions
- Mix the Salad Base: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken, plain Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, finely chopped onions, and lemon juice. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated, creating a creamy chicken salad mixture.
- Season and Add Avocado: Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Gently fold in the diced avocado, being careful to keep the pieces intact for texture and flavor.
- Prepare the Lettuce Wraps: Use cold, crisp romaine or bibb lettuce leaves as your wrap base. Spoon generous amounts of the avocado chicken salad into each leaf.
- Serve: Arrange the filled lettuce wraps on a serving platter and enjoy immediately for the freshest taste. These wraps can be an ideal light lunch or a refreshing appetizer.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick and flavorful option.
- Greek yogurt adds tanginess and reduces the need for excess mayonnaise, making it healthier.
- Serve immediately to keep the avocado from browning; alternatively, toss avocado in lemon juice right after dicing for better color retention.
- For added texture and flavor, consider adding chopped celery or toasted nuts.
- Store leftover chicken salad separately from the lettuce wraps for best freshness.
