Strawberries and sliced avocados might seem like unusual toppings for chicken salad, but paired with a poppy seed dressing, they create a delicious dish that is loaded with flavor. Slivered toasted almonds and crisp red onions add a crunch to each bite.

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 pounds chopped cooked chicken (about 3 1/2 cups)
  • celery ribs, sliced
  • pint fresh strawberries, halved
  • avocado, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
  • (10-ounce) package mixed salad greens
  • Garnishes: avocado slices, whole strawberries
  • Preparation
    • Whisk together dressing and mayonnaise in a large bowl; cover and chill 30 minutes.
    • Add chopped chicken and next 5 ingredients to dressing mixture, gently tossing to coat. 
    • Serve over mixed salad greens. Garnish, if desired
