5 steps- 1
In a bowl, whisk the yogurt, lime juice, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt.
- 2
Add the shredded chicken and toss well so it soaks up the dressing.
- 3
Cut the avocado, cucumber and tomatoes into bite-sized pieces.
- 4
Fold everything together gently so the avocado doesn't turn to purée.
- 5
Finish with chives and serve cold, with toast or rice.

Notes and substitutions
For kids wary of green food, serve the avocado on the side in cubes.
Leftover roast chicken works perfectly here.

How to store and reheat
- Fridge: up to 2 days, though avocado darkens. Store it separately and add when serving.
- An extra squeeze of lime over the avocado slows the browning.
- Don't freeze: avocado and cucumber weep and lose texture.
