Discover a Vibrant Japanese-Inspired Chicken Salad
This dish boasts creamy avocado and crisp cucumbers, all without mayo. It offers a fresh twist on traditional chicken salads, combining the rich flavors of ripe Hass avocados, zesty lime juice, and savory seasonings like coconut aminos, fish sauce, and furikake.
Preparation Tips
Instead of soggy cucumber slices, thinly sliced Persian cucumbers are salted and drained to ensure they remain crunchy. Green onions add a burst of freshness, while shredded cooked chicken—be it leftovers, poached, or rotisserie—serves as the protein foundation.
