reinventing an old classic

there's nothing better than reinventing an old classic. today it was my chicken salad's turn to be reinvented. typically i add some carrots, nuts, and grapes to jazz up my boring old chicken salad, but today i tried using avocados! not only was it delicious, but way healthier as the avocado and dollop of yogurt take the place of mayo. i garnished my sandwich with thinly sliced tomatoes. this is a great quick, easy, and healthy make-ahead lunch. thankfully i still have some this chicken salad leftover to use another day (secret four to surviving college: always make extra)
