This sound delish. To make a lighter or less caloric salad you can use lite mayo or even switch to a balsamic dressing. That would be extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, a little lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic simple as that. Balsamic goes nice with avacado.

I thought this was really good. My husband thought it was awesome! I did not use the onion in the salad nor the dressing & they tasted just fine.

Simply Delicious. We put the chicken salad in a wrap and then dipped it in the dressing. I will definitely be making this again!

SCRUMMMMMMPTIOUS!!! I TWEAKED THE RECIPE AND CONVERTED IT TO A MEXICAN SALAD. I USED RED ONION IN THE SALAD AND DRESSING AND SUBSTITUTED THE PARSLEY WITH THE KING OF FLAVOR "CILANTRO" AND SERVED IT WITH FRESH TORTILLA CHIPS. WE HAD A FAMILY GATHERING SO I MADE A LARGE AMOUNT (4X RECIPE FOR 30 SERVINGS) AND IT STILL WASN'T ENOUGH! THANKS FOR THE RECIPE PAULA, I HAVE NOW EARNED MY PLACE IN FAMILY POTLUCKS...AND WITH THIS SAID, I'M NOW ASKING MY FAMILY FOR THEIR PRIZE RECIPES AND I'M PUTTING TOGETHER A FAMILY RECIPE BOOK FOR HOLIDAY GIFT GIVING!

For flavor this is a 5+! I made this for a group of friends who play Pokeno toegher every month and they RAVED about it. I made one change instead of using 3 cups of cooked rice, I used two. The dressing is to die for! However I did not mix it in a food processor or blender. I used a wire whisk;mashed the avocado with lemon juice, then added remaining ingredients. Also, I used green onions in the dressing! Yummy!
