Avocado Chicken Salad (Healthy Lunch Idea)

I love chicken salad. It’s one of the things my mom always made for us growing up. It’s great for lunches, quick dinners, and makes for a great picnic lunch too. We eat chicken salad several ways with or without fruit sometimes too. I was looking for a new way to make chicken salad and make it healthier. This avocado chicken salad is very healthy and is a perfect lunch idea!

Avocado Chicken Salad- perfect lunch idea that is helalthy

I’m always looking for an easy lunch idea I can make fast the night before work or the morning of. I need something that I can eat fast too (usually standing up as I’m helping kids open their lunches too!) In reality a sandwich is easy and fast but I get tired of those. I’m not a huge fan of deli meat either unless it’s really fresh.

Chicken salad is one of my go-to ideas. It’s easy to make and I love all the ways I can mix and match to change it up. Avocados are a great addition to any meal and works really well with this. I started buying the little mini servings that usually come 4 in a pack. Each one is 100 calories so it’s just the right amount for this recipe and nothing goes brown or goes to waste.

I love that this recipe makes 2 meals! I love having a little crunch in my chicken salad so the bell pepper chopped up worked great! Another option is to scoop the chicken and guacamole into the half of bell pepper and eat it like that. I’m not sure the total calories on this but it’s close to 250 (according to my calorie tracker app).

I took this to work 2x last week and brought along some carrots and veggie chips. I loved it and it was wonderful! If you’re looking for a healthier easy lunch, this avocado chicken salad is perfect for you!

    This is such a great idea. I make chicken salad pretty often – so the leftover chicken doesn’t get wasted. But, I always feel guilty about the mayo. I bet my kids would like this, too.
