Dressing:

2-3 garlic gloves (about 1-2 teaspoons)

1 tablespoon of Dijon Mustard

1 full lemon zested and then squeezed

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1/2 cup Avocado Oil Mayo

1/2 cup Greek Yogurt

Process

1. Combine all of the ingredients (aside from the dressing) into a bowl and mix until the larger pieces of chicken are broken up.

Tips:

• Eat on its own, over greens, or serve with flackers
• We usually just buy a rotisserie chicken or use leftover chicken from another meal and shred it to make this recipe easier
• Any nuts will work. We like pistachios and slivered almonds
• Our favorite herbs for this recipe are mint, basil and parsley but choose your own favorites
• This recipe can be made fully dairy-free by subbing an additional 1/2 cup of Avocado Oil Mayo in place of the Greek Yogurt
