Ingredients

Chicken Salad

1 1/2 lbs cooked and shredded chicken ((I used precooked and shredded chicken from my Trifecta meal prep plan! Use the code CKL40 for 40% off)
8 slices bacon (cooked and crumbled)
2-3 celery stalks (finely chopped)
1 red onion (small to medium)
1 ear of corn (cooked and kernels removed)
2 handfuls fresh chives (chopped)
1 handful salt and vinegar chips (crushed - I love using Siete for a cleaner option)

Creamy Avocado Sauce

2 avocados (large)
1 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (plain nonfat)
1- 1 1/2 wasabi paste (don't skip this!)
1 lemon (Juice and zest of 1 lemon)
1 1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1
In a blender or food processor, combine all the creamy avocado sauce ingredients. Blend until smooth, creamy, and vibrant green.
2
In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, chopped celery, corn, red onion, and chives.
3
Pour the avocado yogurt sauce over the mixture and toss until everything is evenly coated.
4
Gently fold in the crushed salt and vinegar chips for that tangy crunch. Give it one final mix and serve immediately.
