I don’t know how to break it to my longtime friend chicken salad, but
there’s a new kid in town. I always loved chicken salad with soft grapes,
crunchy nuts, minimal mayo, and delicious hunks of chicken. I mean, it’s a
classic. How do you not love it?

That’s what I thought until this recipe waltzed right into my life via “http://pinterest.com/
Pinterest obviously….this chicken
salad has lime, cilantro, and avocado in it! So much greeny goodness I can
barely stand it!! Cilantro is my new fave ingredient to cook with. It
brings a great boldness to a recipe!
