Notes

  • For a low-carb or keto option, use mayonnaise instead of Greek yogurt and omit any added sugar in your mustard.
  • To make this recipe ahead, mix all ingredients except the tomato and avocado; add those just before serving to maintain texture.
  • Use rotisserie chicken for faster preparation.
