Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados, diced

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced

1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup mayonnaise (or substitute with more Greek yogurt for a lighter option)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

1/2 cup celery, finely chopped

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 head of butter lettuce or romaine lettuce (for cups)

Optional toppings: cherry tomatoes, sliced black olives, or sliced almonds

Instructions
 

Prepare the Lettuce: Gently separate the leaves of the butter or romaine lettuce, wash them under cold water, and pat them dry with a clean towel. Set aside for serving.

    Mix the Dressing: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Whisk together until smooth and well-mixed.

      Add Chicken and Vegetables: To the dressing, add the cooked chicken, diced avocados, chopped celery, red onion, and cilantro (if using). Stir gently to combine, ensuring the avocados remain somewhat chunky for added texture.

        Season: Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust any ingredients to your preference—add more lemon juice for tanginess or more mustard for a kick.

          Assemble the Cups: Spoon the avocado chicken salad mixture into the lettuce leaves, generously filling each cup.

            Garnish and Serve: If desired, top each lettuce cup with halved cherry tomatoes, sliced olives, or almonds for additional flavor and crunch. Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and delicious creation!
