Avocado Chicken Potato Salad
I love a good potato salad with chicken bits but wanted to go healthier by omitting the eggs and using lesser, or no, mayonnaise. I thought Avocado might be a good substitute. Result? A creamier, tastier, healthier potato salad! :) Try it! Great as side salad, on its own or with crackers.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cut your grilled chicken with scissors or fingers into chunky strips. I grilled mine on a George Foreman Lean Mean Grill, where oil is not needed and its own oil drips off. Grill yours on whatever you have available that doesn't use oil. Season well and try to baste your chicken with your marinade every so often to make it tasty and juicy. I used Select's All Purpose Seasoning (Moroccan tastes great with grilled chicken too), lemon, Maggi Savor or Knorr Seasoning, salt and chili powder as marinade (2 hrs or more).

Slice your (salted) boiled potatoes into quarters or bite size pieces.
- 3
Combine your chopped onion, celery, basil (don't add if you're planning to store in fridge and eat a little at a time for a few days, or just add fresh daily before serving), pickle relish and chicken in a bowl.

Add your avocado (3/4 of it). I used a teaspoon and sort of shaved off flesh thinly from the skin/peel. My avocados were ripe and quite soft which was perfect (mushy texture). It was easy to mix in with the bowl ingredients. Taste, as your chicken seasoning might have enough saltiness, if not, add a pinch. Taste again- remember you added salt to your potatoes, so don't add too much. This is how it should look. Yummy even without potatoes yet.

Once you're good with the taste, add your potatoes. Mix in to cover all pieces. Taste. Check if you have dressed your salad enough. If not, top it up with your remaining avocado. Then squirt a little mayo if desired. Mix the mayo-avocado on top before mixing it in the potato salad. This is done only if you think your salad needs more dressing. It would depend on how much potatoes you used.

Cover and refrigerate. I find it nicer chilled before serving. Serve with bread, crackers, as snack, or as a side for your Main. I find it goes well with no-sauce meat dishes. Finished product below, with well-dressed potatoes (not wet or oozing). Add garnish on top if desired.

Healthy Potato Salad with Avocado and Beans Healthy Potato Salad with Avocado and Beans
I love avocado and chick peas. I wanted to make a satisfying salad that I wouldn't get tired of. So, to make the most of the rich avocado flavor, I used sushi vinegar instead of mayonnaise. The green color is so pretty, and I'm really happy with the result. That's why I posted the recipe here - it's for my own reminder.Adjust the microwave time for cooking the potato (mine was 4 minutes at 600W). Peel the potato while hot, and add sushi vinegar immediately after mashing to season well. For 2 servings. Recipe by Usagi no Cima
