Ingredients
Scale
1 cooked chicken breast, diced or shredded
2 mini cucumbers, chopped
1/3 cup cottage cheese
1/2 small avocado, cubed
1 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp kewpie mayo (or regular)
1 tsp red wine vinegar or lemon juice
2 tbsp Kalamata olives, sliced
1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
1/2 tsp garlic powder
salt + pepper to taste
Instructions
- Grab a medium or large jar (or a tall container with a lid).
- Add the chicken, cucumbers, cottage cheese, avocado, olive oil, mayo, vinegar/lemon, olives, dill, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Close the lid and give it a good shake until everything’s well combined.
- Taste and adjust seasonings if you need to.
- Eat it straight outta the jar or pour into a bowl.
Notes
- If you're packin' it for lunch, keep it chilled and give it another shake before diggin' in.
- Don’t love mayo? Just add a little more olive oil or skip it altogether.
- Make it vegan by swapping chicken with chickpeas and using plant-based yogurt or mashed tofu.
- This salad keeps in the fridge for up to 2 days, but best texture’s in that first 24 hours.
