Can this be frozen
Hi Noel, I haven’t tried freezing it, but I don’t think it would freeze well. Everything would be mushy and discolored after defrosting.
Tried a different recipe you posted and it was awesome. I do have a question, the chicken, do you think this salad would do well with piached chicken breast?
Hi Gloria, that would work fine 😀. Thank you for making our recipes.
what does the “6 oz bacon” make in measurements-1/2 cup, 3/4? Is that precooked weight? Thanks
Hi Janet, I would say it’s about 1/2 cup of chopped cooked bacon. The 6 oz of bacon is the weight of the bacon before it is cooked (about half of a package of bacon).
Made this last night but I added some chopped romaine lettuce, its a very heavy & rich salad otherwise. Roasted the corn under the broiler to bring out the sweetness of the corn. Very good salad. There was plenty and James and I ate all of it!
I’m so happy you enjoyed that!
My husband and I loved this! I left the egg out for him but added some fresh tomatoes. Will make this again and again. Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe.
My pleasure! I’m happy you were able to make this you own versions and still love it!
I saw this on a friend’s Facebook page this morning, and decided to make it for supper, since the weather is so hot. Didn’t have dill, but added finely chopped tomato and red onion, and it’s SOOO GOOD! Definitely going into my summer line up of quick light meals!
Hi Trish, thank you so much for the amazing review!! I love the idea of adding tomato and onion. yum!!
This was an awesome recipe. I added 2 cups of fresh spinach. Also, I didn’t have bacon, so I substituted 2 small smoked breakfast chops. Yum!
That’s so great Lynette! Thank you for sharing that with us!
I made this last night and it was incredible! There was so much flavor, and the creaminess of the avacado and blend of lemon with the dill makes a perfectly light dressing. I will mark this as a favorite!
I’m so happy you found a favorite, Wendy! Thank you for sharing that with us!
When I first saw the pics of this, I thought it was crab and not chicken, and for some reason, I couldn’t get that out of my mind. Tonight, I made this with krab (imitation crab meat) and it was AMAZING. The sweetness of the krab offset the tartness of the dressing and it was delicious. I’ll be making this again.
That’s so awesome, Mary! Sounds like I’ll need to try this with crab. Thank you so much for sharing that with us!
Such a yummy recipe! My family loved it! I did add a cup of canned chickpeas and finely chopped tomato too-they were great add-ins. I served the whole thing over some fresh spinach (could also used chopped romaine or bibb lettuce). Such a nice, easy summer meal! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it. & thank you for sharing your great review! 🙂
Wow this is an awesome recipe! I deleted the egg and added a chopped mango for a little sweet addition. So good thank you Natasha!
What a great review! Thank you for sharing your version with us, Melanie!
Great love watching u
Thank you so much for following our blog!
Can we replace with pesto for the dressing?
I haven’t tried but I bet that would be amazing as a pesto chicken salad!
The picture shows hard-boiled eggs but there aren’t any listed in the recipe itself. How many eggs did you use for this recipe?
Hi Pam, Yes, the boiled eggs are optional and sometimes I make the salad with eggs for extra protein and sometimes I leave them out. I do have that note in the recipe card: “Optional: For even more protein, we add 2 hard boiled eggs, halved or quartered.” It only improves the salad to add them. I hope this helps.
This was sooooo delicious! Even my kids loved it. I did not have fresh dill, so I just eliminated it and it was still fantastic! Thanks!
I’m so happy the kiddos enjoyed it!
I don’t either, but I’ll use a little bit of dried.
Hmmm… hard boiled eggs in the photos but not in the written recipe…
Hi Melissa, they are optional. Sometimes we use them and sometimes we don’t. It just adds extra protein. I have a note added about them in the print-friendly recipe card.
outstanding you are the best
Aww Thanks! And you are the best for following our blog and reading our recipes!
Can’t wait to try this. I do not like the typical dressings with vinegar and normally just use lemon and olive oil on my salads. This fits right in to my taste. Thanks. YUM
That’s so great, Sandi!
This turned out great. Next time I am going to try it on a bed of fresh spinach! Thanks for the great recipe!
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it
I would cut the avocado last and sprinkle it with lemon juice or the dressing to keep it fresh longer. Will be making this soon. A nice summer dinner. Thanks for posting.
Yes! The lemon juice will keep it from turning brown! Great tip for everyone!
I made this delicious salad today and I really enjoyed it. It is so hot here in California that this salad is so refreshing for me.
I agree, this salad is so great for a hot summer day! We are experiencing 100 degree weather this week ourselves!
This. Is. AMAZING! So great! I can’t wait to make it again!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the wonderful review, Lisa!
Hey Natasha! I’m so excited to try this recipe, and I tried to read through all the comments to see if this question had already been asked – but there are SO many, and when people got snotty, I got protective and kinda mad…lol
I recently had gallbladder surgery and I’m trying to get back to keto…I thought of just leaving out the corn, but I suspect it does quite a bit for the texture of the salad…do you have ideas for substitutions that might maintain the texture/integrity of the salad?
Thanks for all your hard work!
Hi Mandy! That is a great question. I haven’t tried it without the corn and I’m sure it helps the texture but I think this salad would be fine if you omit it. We had several Keto dieters comment on how much they enjoyed this One writing” just made this, but left out the corn, because I’m keto. It was very good”
What a great salad!! Love the dressing that crisp taste.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the wonderful review!
How much is a serving? a cup?
Hi Robin! This recipe makes six servings. I haven’t measured it by cup. 1/6th of the recipe is considered a serving 🙂 Hope this helps.
I am overwhelmed!
Isn’t it sooo good!? Thanks for the awesome review!
Love this Avocado Chicken Salad, nok majo, which makes it perfect (i dont like majo ind nu salad)
My familie mand friends like it.
Its perfect in lunchbox and to have when you to camping. Just købe it.
Simple but good.
Like your other resipes <3
Thank you for sharing with us <3
You’re so welcome, Arndis! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
My cousin posted this recipe on Facebook and I brought it to a 4th of July party. After I made it I actually thought twice about bringing it because I wanted to keep it for myself! But I did bring it and it was the hit of the party! Everyone had to have the recipe. Also, I am not a big dill lover but it really gives it a little extra pop. I’m really happy I found your website, and will definitely be trying more recipes. Thank you!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the wonderful review, Tish! 🙂
What is the sodium count if I leave out the bacon?
Hi Joan, we are not nutritionists or registered dietitians. However we do use a free online nutritional calculator such as this and this one to figure out nutritional facts for you and try to be as accurate as possible. Bacon is high sodium, up to 500mg per ounce! We used lean bacon for this recipe and that number is still pretty significant. I hope this helps 🙂
I leave the bacon out altogether and still tastes amazing!
Awesome! I’m happy it worked out well for you!
1002 mg sodium tho ???
Yes! The bacon adds to that greatly. Omitting the bacon will help that number a ton!
Hello Natasha! I just wanted to let you know I made this salad and it’s DELICIOUS!! I don’t miss the mayo at all 🤓!
That’s so great! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for the recipe. I just found out I need to fix my cholesterol and lower my sugar and I think this is gonna be something I can use to help that. Once again Thank you.
You’re so welcome, Becka!
leave out the bacon and oil to do so. The best way is to make this veggie by replacing the chicken with say black beans and put spice in it and use a pure guacamole dressing for it or another dressing with no oil
for best results
Looks so good! I can’t eat bacon or chicken meat, but I will be trying that with shrimp and smoked salmon or coconut “bacon”!
Fyi, instead of boiling the eggs, bake them in the shells in the oven at 350ºF for 28 minutes in muffin pans, put them eggs in a bowl of ice water to cool them down, and their shells are easier to peel. The baked eggs tastes 100Xs better than boiled eggs!
Thank you for that wonderful tip, Can’t wait to try that!
We’ve been looking for low/no carb dinners, so we doubled the recipe to have as an entree for 4 people, however we lowered the dill to a scant tsp total. It didn’t look like it would be enough, but it was VERY filling! Definitely one to do again! =)
That is so great Tracie, I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you soooo much for this amazing recipe , so simple yet so flavorful . Being a new cook I’m always looking for variety . My mom loved it and she’s my hardest critic. Can’t wait to try more of your recipes . Again much thanx
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it, that’s the best!
Could this be made ahead of time and stored in Refrigerator the night before?
Hi Marie, yes that would work great! This chicken salad refrigerates well 🙂
Could this be made ahead of time/night before?
Hi Marie, we have really enjoyed leftovers of this chicken salad and it does keep well refrigerated for the next day.
I thought I saw boiled eggs in this salad?
Hi Brenda! Yes, the boiled eggs are optional and sometimes I make the salad with eggs for extra protein and sometimes I leave them out.
Wish you would state that in your recipe then.. don’t show it one way then give a different recipe. A bit lazy. I am a cook ..but you have many beginners learning. Help out your readers.
Hi PA, I do have that note in the recipe card: “Optional: For even more protein, we add 2 hard boiled eggs, halved or quartered.” It only improves the salad to add them.
Hello PA,
In my opinion, the recipe was well crafted and well written (and tasted good as well). I’m new to posting to a blog, but I believe posters should be able to ask questions and/or offer suggestions without being critical or insulting.
Yikes, “PA.” Natasha took the time to share the recipe and post pics and respond to everybody and you take the time to tell her a DON’T, call her lazy, and demand help which she actually already gave. In addition to that, she replied politely to you after you were condescending.
Natasha is a class act for sure and this recipe is much appreciated by the majority.
Amy
Completely rude. People are unbelievable.
Great recipe Natasha!
Thank you Lyndsey, you’re so nice 🙂
PA, if you’re a “cook” then maybe you should be creating your own recipes instead of trolling the internet. You’re extremely rude and any “normal” cook can figure out whether they want to add eggs to a salad. It’s a wonderful recipe, but it’s not rocket science. You can actually add things or delete what you want without needing to “educate” anyone else.
It’s actually two places in the recipe card. Thanks for the suggestion, Natasha. My husband eats a lot of protein.
You’re so welcome, Sue!
I made this for a light supper. I added a handful of organic grape tomatoes (cut in half) and I used dry dill weed instead of fresh. It is so delicious! Thanks for the recipe.
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
How many servings does this make?
Hi Sue, This serves 6 as a side dish.
Natasha,
I’m not a fan of dill. Is there something I can use as a substitute for dill? Thank you –
Susan
Hi Susan, either omit the dill or replace it with fresh chopped cilantro to give it more flavor. I hope you love this chicken salad recipe!
Natasha,
I made the salad yesterday and took 90% of it to a neighbor recovering from a hip replacement. She and her family loved it (as did I). The cilantro added a wonderful flavor. Thanks so much for the suggestion!
Susan
You’re so welcome! I’m glad you all enjoyed that! You’re such a nice neighbor! wow!
Natasha,
I’m already planning to make it again. My sister is coming for a visit in mid-July and I’m going to make it for her and a friend of mine. Can’t wait!
That’s so great! Enjoy!
Picture shows quartered hard boiled eggs but I see no reference in the .recipe.
Hi Susan! Yes, the boiled eggs are optional and sometimes I make the salad with eggs for extra protein and sometimes I leave them out.
I have a question: we are doing Keto, so I didn’t add the corn. I am wondering what the carb count is since I omitted the corn and also…where is the 1g of sugar coming from? Thank you so much for this recipe…such a great summer salad!
Hi Mis, unfortunately our program only calculates nutrition facts for the entire recipe so you may need to use an online calculator where you plug in the ingredients. Sorry I can’t be more help with that! The sugar is based on 1 serving and is very likely coming from avocado.
I don’t recall how many servings this makes? Maybe I missed it somewhere. Please let me know, I am a Weight Watcher and deal with portions.
Thanks!
Hi Cathy. This serves 6 as a side dish.
A friend is recovering from surgery and I signed up to take her family a meal. This salad looks perfect. What should I bring as accompaniments to compliment salad? Thanks and Yum!
Serve this chicken salad as an entree, or in sandwiches, pita pockets and even as a filling for lettuce wraps. This avocado chicken salad is deliciously versatile. This goes really well on olive oil-rubbed baguette slices. A reader wrote that she served it with Pull-apart Cheese Bread and loved it. Hope this helps, Carol.
This looks delicious! I’m probably going to substitute some champagne vinegar for the lemon juice since hubs doesn’t like lemon, but otherwise I think it’s going to be a hit!
Hi Michelle, I haven’t tried that substitution but I hope you love it with champagne vinegar!
Hi Natasha, hubby and I enjoyed this salad again tonight. Always a hit. I didn’t have any dill (thought i did, grrrr) so i chopped up some fresh parsley from my herb garden and it was spectacular! Wish i could give more than 5 stars for such a yummy, easy, versatile recipe.
Thanks for your great, practical and delicious recipes.
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite, Gretchen! Thank you for the wonderful review!
Hello Family, I just wanted to share my wonderfully blessed news. I tried my hand at your Avacado Chicken Salad and although your presentation is what tempted me to try this dish, I need you to know mine turned out BEAUTIFULLY!! Had I not come across your Website for whatever reason..I simply wouldn’t of know this dish was possible..so THANK YOU WITH OPEN..HEART..MIND..AND SOUL, FOR OPENING MY EYES.
MAY YOU ALWAYS HAVE GODS BLESSING.
GYRONE SCOTT
Welcome to our blog, Gyrone! I’m happy to hear you are enjoying it! Thank you for the wonderful review!
Delicious recipe and one I’ve shared with friends. I did sub in the turkey bacon and used hard boiled eggs. My hubby likes a bit more dressing so I doubled the dressing recipe and then used a little to toss into some chopped romaine. Put the avocado salad on top of the dressed romaine for a Main Dish dinner
That sounds amazing, Leslie! Thank you for sharing your version with me! 🙂 I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
Thank you for posting this! It is so good! I will definitely have to make this again & again
My pleasure Sandy! I’m glad you enjoy the recipe just as much as I do. Thanks for sharing your wonderful review!
This is very, very good!! I’m eating it as I type-lol!
For the month of May I’m only eating seafoo, no meat, so I subbed shrimp for the chicken. No bacon either. Everything else is as written. Fast, fresh, and delicious!! I’ll definitely make it again…and next month I can eat chicken again!!
Thanks for sharing!!
You are very welcome Teresa and thank you for such a nice review 😀
I love that you have provided the nutritional info. How many servings is one recipe?
I’m glad you find that helpful Debby! This recipe serves 6 as a side dish.
Thank you
This is so good! I took out the chicken and bacon and added in chickpeas and a little bit of honey. I think it’ll be my new go to lunch for work! I’m so happy I found this. Thanks!
That sounds delicious, I love how versatile this recipe is! Thanks for sharing your great review with other readers Andrea!
Hi, I can’t wait to try this and your other beautiful salads this summer. Can I substitute dill for anything else?
Hello Sarah, you could omit the dill or replace it with fresh chopped cilantro to give it more flavor. I hope you love the salads, please let me know what you think!
My husband made this for our Mother’s Day dinner and it was so, so good! I loved the combination of all the flavors and textures. Our leftovers have been gone for a couple of days now and I already want to make it again!
Yay, I’m happy to hear how much you both love the recipe. Thanks for sharing your excellent review Nicole!
This salad is delish!!!
Definitely will be on the menu during the summer season, fall, winter and spring!! Do I think it’s great? YES!!
I’m happy to hear how much you love the recipe! Thanks for sharing your excellent review Helen!
This is crazy delicious. I’m seriously writing this while eating it!
But I don’t think this makes a realistic 6 servings. I would say 3 because you can’t stop eating it.
Lol! I’m happy to hear how much you enjoy the recipe Kelly! Thanks for sharing your awesome review!
Made this for dinner tonight with some quinoa on the side. Absolutely delicious! Definitely will make again and is my new go-to for potluck lunches.
I’m glad you love the recipe Stephanie! Thanks for sharing your fantastic review!
How many servings does this make?
Hello Emily, this recipe serves 6 as a side dish!
My family absolutely LOVED this dish.
I’m glad to hear the recipe is a hit! Thanks for sharing your great review Heidi!
Do you have a vegetarian version of this recipe?
Hi Helen! I sure do! Here is our cucumber tomato avocado salad which has a similar flavor profile.
Aw. This salad is super healthy and easy. I like the way you combine many ingredients into this salad 😋
However, I was wondering how
different of tastes between boiling chicken and roasting chicken?
Hi Natlie, roasted chicken typically has more depth of flavor but either one will work since the dressing is so flavorful 🙂
Made this today for lunch because it just screamed Spring! Added cherry tomato halves for a splash of color. Received compliments on how refreshing it tasted. Great recipe!
I’m glad to hear the recipe is a success! Thanks for sharing your great review!
This was great. Next time I am going to make it as a lettuce wrap.
I’m glad you enjoy the recipe Jill! I will have to try it in a lettuce wrap too, that sounds great. Thanks for sharing your review!
I made this last night as written for dinner. To quote my wife, “I love this!” Me too! Absolutely delicious!
The next time, we think black beans may be good with this. Thank you for a great, yet simple meal.
You’re welcome Ken! I’m glad you both love the recipe, thanks for sharing your great review!
It deserves 5 stars, not 4. I apparently hit send too early.
Great Ken, thanks for the outstanding rating! 🙂

Just made this dish, absolutely amazing. Dressing very light, is a keeper!
Yay, I’m happy to hear that! Thanks for sharing your fantastic review Pam!
Can this recipe be made the day before. Except for avocado of course 🤗
Hi Shirley, you can prep ingredients a day before but don’t mix the dressing in.
This recipe looks amazing! Dill is the one herb that I do not care for. What would you suggest using as a substitute? Thanks!
Hello Christen, you could omit the dill or replace it with fresh chopped cilantro to give it more flavor!
I can be described as a fussy eater, but this recipe is light and delicious, not lacking in flavor. Thank you for this recipe, yum!
You’re welcome Melissa! I’m glad to hear the recipe is “picky eater” approved! Thanks for sharing your fantastic review!
Oh my. So very wonderful!!! Thank you for this recipe. Perfect low carb delishousness!
You’re welcome Gretchen! I’m glad you enjoy the recipe so much. Thanks for sharing your great review!
How do you get the carbs out of the corn? Can you use roasted cauliflower?
Hi Claudia, I haven’t tried this with roasted cauliflower but it sounds like a great idea! 🙂
This recipe I sent amazing. I never comment on anything but since you took the time to share I must take a moment to applaud this yummyness of this salad 💯
Awesome! Thanks for sharing your excellent review! I’m happy to hear how much you enjoy the recipe!
Thank you for putting a picture of the ingredients. The visual helps me think of what I already have in my fridge so I can just scroll my Pinterest and see what I can make. 🙂
You’re welcome Gina, I’m glad you find that helpful!
I haven’t tried it yet but I might add some black beans!
Great suggestion Dee, I hope you love it!
I absolutely LOVE your recipes. Keep them coming!!
I’m happy to hear how much you’re enjoying the recipe Nancy! Thanks for following!
You have boiled eggs in the picture but not in the recipe
Hi Camille, the boiled eggs are optional and sometimes I make the salad with eggs for extra protein and sometimes I leave them out.
Can you make this and leave the corn out? Or maybe have a suggestion of something to put in instead of the corn?
Hi Wendy, you leave the corn out or replace it with sliced cucumber. Enjoy 😀
I replaced chicken with a can of tuna and no corn. So refreshing and just delish served on a bed of lettuce.
Yum, that sounds good! Thanks for sharing your fantastic review Amy!
I love this salad. I madden it without the bacon to save calories. It was just as good. Well, nothing beats bacon. I was wondering… The recipe states 324 calories a serving, but what is a serving. It doesn’t state. Do you know?
Hi Alesia, I’m so happy you love the recipe! I usually have the serving size towards the top of the print-friendly recipe card. This salad serves 6 as a side salad. 🙂
Natasha! I first saw this on Facebook and copied it to my notes file. Tonight I made it for my husband and myself…. wish I had made it sooner!! It was so yummy! The flavor combinations were spot on! And ….. no leftovers! This will be a go to recipe for us!! Thanks! Nancy
You’re welcome Nancy! I’m glad to hear how much you and your husband enjoy the recipe. Thanks for sharing your excellent review!
Today is my 4th time making this and it’s now one of my favorites to make. Thank you so much for sharing.
My pleasure Kathie! I’m glad you enjoy the recipe enough to put it in your regular rotation. Thanks for sharing your excellent review!
Loved the salad, i used pomegranate instead of sweet corn and it went really well. yum yum
Yum, that sounds delicious! I’m glad you enjoy the recipe Paul, thanks for sharing!
Tried this today and OMG! It’s sooooooo good! Thank you so much for this recipe!!
You’re welcome! I’m glad you love it, thanks so much for sharing!
I loved this salad with less of the dill. fresh dill is super strong, it may be a good idea to add less at first because you can always add more, I like dill, but it was pretty overwhelming for me. I still make this but with half the amount.
Hi Barbie, I’m glad you enjoyed the salad. You can absolutely add dill to taste :). I added that little note above for folks who maybe aren’t accustomed to eating dill. I just love the stuff 🙂
Do think this salad would be good with crumbled blue cheese or gorgonzola?
I haven’t tried those cheeses. Couple readers recommended feta cheese. If you experiment with those cheeses, let us know what you think.
If I’m using canned chicken, can u give me the quantity amount of how much I should use?
Hi Mags, you could add it to preference but 1 to 2 of the larger cans of chicken, well drained would work great 🙂
I see eggs in here but not in the recipe…..js
Hi Julie, the hard boiled eggs are optional. Sometimes I make the salad with for extra protein and sometimes without.
If replacing dill with cilantro would lime juice be better than lemon for the dressing?
Hi Kim, I haven’t tried this salad with lime juice so I’m not 100% sure. It would still taste really really good with either dill or cilantro and the lemon 🙂
Oh my goodness! This salad is absolutely amazing! I work the midnight shift and this is perfect for my dinner. It doesn’t leave me feeling too full or sluggish. I added a few sunflower seeds and dried cranberries as well…just a sprinkle on top. Thank you!!!
You’re welcome Debbie! I’m glad you enjoy the recipe. I will have to try your additions, it sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing your outstanding review!
Hi, Natasha! I love your videos. Could the corn be optional? My hubby and I are doing the no carb thing and I love this dish. It looks so good!! Thank you! 🙂
Hi Michele, yes this salad would work great even without the corn. If you wanted to substitute, you could add cucumbers, just keep in mind the cucumbers will soften if you have leftovers so the salad stores better without the cucumbers. We just posted another version of this salad with salmon and cucumbers.
Great, thank you! I will try cucumber next time. Made it Friday night and it was a hit!
Awesome, I’m glad to hear that! Thanks for sharing Michele!
Yhis looks so good but is there anything I can substitute the dill with, I’m usually not a fan of dill?
Hi Nidya, you could omit the dill or replace it with fresh chopped cilantro to give it more flavor 🙂
Hi, I’m definitely going to,make this over the weekend. But would this work with grilled or roasted?
Thanks
Hi Lamar, it will work great with grilled chopped chicken or roasted chicken – it would even work great with sautéed chicken 🙂
This looks soooo delicious! Definitely going to try it!!
It’s one of my most popular recipes, I hope you love it Kathy!
The pictures show chopped hard cooked eggs yet they were not used in the video. Why? Forgotten?
Hi, we put those as optional in the recipe since sometimes we add them and sometimes we don’t :).
Just made this for supper and we loved it! Substituted canned corn and bottled lemon juice as that’s what I had on hand. Delicious!
I’m glad you enjoy the recipe so much! Thanks for sharing your review Cindy!
I love each of your recipes that I’ve tryed. Was wondering if you have a cookbook. I would buy it for sure!!
I’m happy to hear you’re enjoying the recipes! Creating my first cookbook is on my “to-do” list this year. Thanks for following Terry!
I will def. be making this salad and I enjoy all the ingred in it and the dressing looks heavenly. ty for sharing now goin to look at some more of your goodies.
I hope you love it Sharon, please let me know what you think!
I made this for a work function, I am a nurse and work in a pretty large unit. The day I made it I ended up printing 10 copies of this recipe!! It was a total hit. Thank you!
You’re welcome Danielle! I’m glad to hear the recipe is quite a HIT! Thanks for sharing your wonderful review and spreading the love!
wondering how this avocado chick salad recipe out taste with replacing the corn with black beans or something else. we don’t eat corn
HI Symone, you could leave out the corn and it would still work, or add something else like cucumbers. Black beans might be fun to try, but be sure they are well rinsed so they don’t discolor the salad.
This is so good I could eat it everyday!
Awesome, I’m glad to hear how much you love the recipe! Thanks for sharing Terri!
To shred your chicken quicker place it in a bowl and use your electric beaters on low to shred it in seconds instead of standing there pulling it apart.
Love the recipe too by the way!
Great tip Lisa! I’m happy to hear you enjoy the recipe, thanks for sharing!
This looks delicious! I noticed that there are boiled eggs in the dish. There is no mention of eggs in the video or the recipe. Was this intentional?
Hi Cheryl, the hard boiled eggs are optional. You can add them for a little extra protein if you prefer. Sometimes I make the salad with and sometimes without 🙂
This salad looks delicious, and since I’m having blood pressure issues, I thought it would be perfect….then I looked at the sodium content! Can it be so high from the bacon? I’m stunned.
Hi Deb, yes it is the bacon that does it! You can absolutely omit or cut down the bacon and still have delicious results.
I love your salads, this one particularly! I used ingredient I had on hand (store bought baked chicken, canned corn, white onion, dill weed) to use up avocados. I will make this again! Very refreshing and I bet better with bacon!
I’m happy to hear that Joyce! Thanks for sharing your fantastic review!
I’ve made this once for a potluck and had several people ask for the recipe. I especially like the dressing and will make it to use on other salads, nice and light dressing. Some variations I have considered are adding halved grape tomatoes, olives, chopped spinach, asparagus or celery. I will be making it this week for another potluck and you never know what might be in it!
I’m glad to hear how much you enjoy this versatile recipe Pam! Thanks for sharing your fantastic review with other readers!
Hey!!! Do you think you could estimate the marcos for this meal and what a good serving size would be? Even just estimating the calories would be appreciated 🙂
Its totally awesome and id love to start eating this a lot more, i just want to make sure that this is a healthy option! I assume it is, i just want to know proper serving sizes
I’m happy to hear how much you enjoy the recipe Raven! Hi Raven, I went ahead and added nutritional info on this recipe. I hope you love it!! 🙂
Your chicken/avocado salad with bacon and corn seems extremely delicious.
Since you are using lemon juice and onions, instead of dill, I would add cilantro leaves or or chopped cilantro twigs, they would really boost the flavor!!!
Great suggestion Cata! This recipe is super popular for good reason, I hope you love it!
Awesome recipe! The flavors are amazing. Thanks for sharing
My pleasure Seema! I’m glad you love the recipe. Thanks for sharing!
How many calories is this? I calculated 2,008 calories and the divided it by 4 servings. Which then gave me 502 calories. Plus 107 calories for the dressing using the same formula. Any experts who can clarify would be greatly appreciated. I am a diebetic and think this would be a great meal.
Due to time constraints, I don’t typically include nutritional info, but check out this nutrition analyzer – you can plug in the ingredients from any recipe, select the serving size and it will give you nutritional info, calories, etc. I hope that is helpful to you Vincent!
Is this salad served warm or cold? I’m making this recipe for my husband tonight and want to make sure it’s perfect!
Hi Kerrie, we usually serve it at room temperature (if serving right after making it), or chilled if making a few hours ahead. We love leftovers chilled the next day 🙂
Any idea how long it will keep in the fridge?
Hi Ashley, I have kept it refrigerated up to 2 days. I think this is the very best when it is served the same day but the avocados will be fine until the next day because the lemon juice in the dressing preserves them. To be safe, I would suggest placing plastic wrap directly over the salad to keep the air out which is what causes the avocados to brown.
Love, love love! Simple, easy and nutritious! Thank you, it’s one of my top 3 now.
I’m glad you love the recipe! Thanks for sharing your great review!

I do not know the nutritional info. but I found out it’s 7 points for each 1 cup (out of 6 servings). I won’t be making it again, though, I wasn’t a fan. I love all the ingredients just not together.
Is this Weight Watchers points? If so, thanks for figuring it out!
Hands down the best chicken salad I’ve ever eaten and it was so easy to make. I usually have to tweak recipes to make them taste better but this one was perfect as is. First time using dill and now I’m in love with it. This has become my new favorite dish. Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure Jenny! I’m glad to hear how much you love the recipe. Thanks for sharing your excellent review!
OMG, the best salad I’ve ever made. I used rotisserie chicken which made it so easy and quick. I used the eggs as well, perfect! AND the whole family loved it too! Thank you!!
You’re welcome Gill! I’m glad to hear how much everyone enjoys the recipe. Thanks for sharing your wonderful review!
This was a great recipe the only thing I did different was to use avocado oil. Flavors are spot on.
I’m glad you love the recipe Robi! Thanks for sharing!

This was one of the best salads I have made in quite a long while. I printed the recipe to take along when I visit my friend in Florida. She will love it!!
I’m glad to hear how much you like the recipe. Thanks for sharing and spreading the love Emilie!
is the chicken boiled?
Hi Germaine, I used a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from Costco, but you can use a boiled chicken or sauteed chicken. The chicken can be cooked a variety of ways and it will still work well.
Yummy! First recipe I tried and love it. Thank you.
I’m happy to hear that Eleni! Thanks for sharing!
I am on a low carb/ keto diet. How many carbs per serving. It looks wonderful. Afraid the corn would make it to high in carbs.

Corn isn’t keto compliant but for low-card I bet you could decrease the amount of corn….
your recipes look so good,can’t wait to try them, starting with the chicken salad, Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure Marcy! I hope you love the salad, please let me know what you think of the recipe!
This is a new lunch favorite and fast dinner option for me! It is so delicious. I do modify a bit as I don’t add in the corn or the dill, and add in a squirt of mayo and mustard when mixing everything in. With these edits the meal is quickly paleo or whole30, too!
I’m glad to hear how much you enjoy the recipe Marisa! Thanks for sharing!
I need you in my kitchen lol your food recipes looks amazing going to try these recipes thank you 😁
You’re welcome Tasia! Please let me know what you think of the recipe. Thanks for following!
I just made this, but left out the corn, because I’m keto. It was very good, even though I’m not an avacodo fan.
I’m happy to hear that Gina! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
I made this yesterday. Light but feels like comfort food. GREAT salad. Thanks for this recipe!!
You’re welcome! I’m glad you love the recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Hello! If I use rotisserie chicken, would it be about 1 cup or more than that amount?
Hi Arika, 2 large chicken breasts will give you closer to 3 cups of chicken. It’s ok even up to 4 cups without needing more dressing 🙂
Had my neighbors over for dinner tonight! They sure loved it. First time made it will make this again.
I’m glad to hear how much everyone enjoys the recipe! Thanks for sharing your great review Lisa!
