For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the mayonnaise dressing.
If you prefer a sweeter note, a touch of honey or maple syrup can be added to the dressing.
Feel free to substitute grilled chicken for a smoky depth of flavor.
The chicken salad can be prepared a day in advance, allowing the flavors to deepen overnight. Be sure to add the avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
