    Hi, Natasha,

    I’ve made this salad a few times as my husband doesn’t eat mayonnaise. I wanted to make it again, but one of my diners can’t eat olive oil. Is there a substitute for olive oil in the dressing or is there a salad dressing that I can purchase that you recommend will go well with this salad?

      Hi Ella! We’ve had great success with the flavor in this salad, but you can definitely increase the amount of the seasoning already used in this recipe (dill, chives, salt, and pepper). I used fresh herbs, not dry. I hope that helps!

    Egg was not in the directions so I didn’t add one. Recipe was perfect. I used rotisserie chicken. One breast and on thigh. Cooked an ear of corn in the microwave for 3min. I added the avocado to the dressing before mixing into the rest of the salad. Just under 1t of salt was perfect. Next time I’m going to try adding a mango.

      Hi Joanne! I am not sure about the spray. I think it could work but I worry about the other additives it could contain that may effect the taste. Another oil could work too, it just wouldn’t have the wonderful taste that extra virgin olive oil provides.

    You definitely want fresh dill. You can substitute dry dill but taste and add more if necessary. I did not add enough. Try to use an avocado that is ripe but still fairly firm. Mine was a little too soft. And add the avocado dead last and stir it in before or as you add the dressing. Otherwise the edges get mushy and everything turns green. Also, pour the dressing over the salad as soon as you make it or the salt and pepper just goes to the bottom of the measuring cup. If you let it sit give it a good stir before you pour. This was pretty good was good and I’ll probably make it again. I

I followed the recipe, except i used Two 10 ounce canned chicken, drained. I only had avocado oil on hand and it substituted fine. my lemon provided 4 Tbl spoons of juice so I used 4. I also added about 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder. I served this on a warm tostada shell and it was so filling!! Yummy 10/10 !

    I am passionate about this salad! I crave this salad. I work 12 hr shifts and often make it to take to work dividing the ingredients into three individual containers. Then I pack a whole avocado a hard boiled egg in my bag each day with the dressing in a little container. Assemble and eat. Sometimes I add grape tomatoes, veggies or toasted almonds. But it really is a perfect salad just as it is.

    I made it as is. The recipe is packed with flavor. I love mayo so I was leery of the lemon vinaigrette but glad I kept mayo out. The whole family gave it 5 stars. Surprisingly, the small leftover avocados didn’t turn brown overnight. Yes, the dressing seemed salty if that is all you eat but keep in mind the dressing goes over the entire dish. My tweak would be adding more corn.

    Thank you again for all the wonderful recipes.

      Hi Marca, The serving size can be found at the beginning of the print-friendly recipe card (located at the bottom of the recipe post). The nutrition label shows counts “per serving.” Hope that helps!

        Hi Hannah, avocado starts to brown quickly so it’s probably best to eat this within 2days. To store, cover the chicken avocado salad with plastic wrap directly over the surface of the salad (keeping the air out will prevent the browning of the avocados) and refrigerate.

      For several years I threw out over ripe avocados too. Then I learned that you can freeze them if you have too many to use up before they spoil.

    This chicken avocado salad is still one of my FAV recipes. I generally leave out the egg – sometimes add a few cherry tomatoes. Today I used purple onion (what I had on hand) and added it to chopped romaine. Makes for a lighter main dish at lunchtime (plus gives me left-overs.

    I have to serve 12 people. Would I triple it?

    Plus what best way to shred rotisserie breast? Maybe show us that sometime .

The nutrition label shows counts “per serving.” This recipe serves 6 as a side. For 12 people, as a side, I would double it. Hope that helps! To shred chicken breast, you can use two forks and rip it apart or a mixer works too! Once the chicken is cold, make sure you remove the bones, turn your mixer on low speed and slowly mix away until shredded, don’t overdo it though! I hope this helps!

    Hi Natasha!

    I was very excited to try this as a cool dinner after a hot day in Texas. I’m almost positive the issues are of my own doing- rotisserie chicken breast, bacon, lime juice and salt in the dressing made for a salty salad. I plan to use lemon juice and cook my own chicken next time and maybe wait on the salt in the dressing until everything is mixed up. I enjoy you and your recipe videos!

    This was a surprise hit. So flavorful. I didn’t have fresh corn and had to sub for frozen but was still great. When I tasted the dressing, I thought it would be bitter and too lemony but when tossed, it was so flavorful and bright. Love, love, love.

    Hi Natasha! This is my forever go to recipe for a quick dinner cos my daughter loves this as much as we do! Quick question, for the national facts, what is the serving size considered.. 1 cup?

      Hi, I would say each serving is about 1 cup – maybe 1 1/4 cups.
