Sriracha Avocado Chicken Salad is packed with creamy avocados, spicy Sriracha and tender chicken breasts to create this addictively delicious salad recipe!
Lunch time is my favorite meal of the day, I love salads and sandwiches and never get bored of either. I especially love chicken salads. I think I make a new version weekly. Lately my obsession is this Avocado Chicken Salad. It’s simple. Chicken, avocado, lime juice, and a bit of salt. To kick it up I dump half a bottle of sriracha on top. Sriracha makes it into 2/3 of my daily meals. I LOOOOVE the stuff. If you have never had it, it’s a Thia style chili sauce that can be found in most ethnic food isles. If you like a little heat added to your foods, check it out.

August 1, 2013 at 3:44 amFirstly, these photos are incredible, and secondly, this chicken salad really looks very delicious. I really want to try this recipe but I have never seen a Sriracha hot chili in the supermarket nearest us. May I ask what good substitute for this? Thank you.

August 1, 2013 at 9:37 amWell one option is to purchase it online – it really is that good. Alternatively, you can find it at Asian or international markets. If you can’t find it – any hot sauce will work!!
