This is an extra-creamy version of chicken salad. The avocado ‘mayo’ is the perfect thick dressing for
the chicken salad. If your normal Paleo mayo turns out runny, tastes weird, or the ideas of raw egg grosses you out, this recipe is for you! It is a fairly simple chicken salad recipe that is perfect for picky eaters.
