Avacado chicken salad (no mayo!)

Avacado chicken salad  

Avacado dressing: 

2 avacado a

1/2 cup buttermilk 

1/2 bunch green onions

1/2 cup packed parsley

1/2 cup packed basil

3 T lemon juice (1 lemon!)

1/4 cup maple syrup 

1/2 bunch celery 

Chicken salad: 

1 # chicken

1/2 bunch celery 

1 lg-med shallot

1 & 3/4 cup avacado dressing (above!)

4 oz white oak cheddar 

1/2 bunch green onion 

1/2 cup almonds

1/4 cup cranberries 

1 juiced lime 

2 T mustard

Salt & pepper 

Start by cooking chicken, pulling it with fork and getting it cooked down! 

I also made some pickled red onions here... (See other recipe:)

Then make avacado dressing... It helps to dice the celery and green onions. Basil and parsley throw right in! Mash the avacado a bit with the lemon juice.. And add the buttermilk and syrup! 

Blender to desired thickness... Add more or less buttermilk / liquids of choice!! 

I gave away a small little jar and had enough still for the salad!! 

Next chop stuff for the chicken salad. 

Celery:

Green onions:

Shallots: 

Shred cheese and combine all:

And eat!!! I just happen to have some croissants... Whoa!
