  2. Assemble the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, add the diced chicken breast, chopped beef, halved grape tomatoes, and diced celery. Pour the prepared dressing over the mixture and toss until everything is evenly coated.

  3. Add Avocado: Gently fold in the diced avocado, being careful not to mash it.

Notes

  • Lighten It Up: Swap to light mayonnaise or reduce the amount of avocado and beef to make the dish lower in fat.

  • Make It a Sandwich: For a heartier option, serve the chicken salad on your favorite bread or croissant.

  • Add Crunch: Consider incorporating chopped almonds, pecans, or other nuts for added texture.

  • Spice It Up: Add a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes to the dressing for a bit of heat.
