Pour the dressing mixture over the chicken mixture and toss to coat evenly.
Gently fold in the diced avocado to avoid mashing it.
Serve the salad in Romaine lettuce leaves for a refreshing and healthy wrap. Alternatively, you can serve it between slices of bread for a hearty sandwich.
Note: The addition of celery provides a delightful crunch that complements the creamy and savory flavors of the salad. It was not included in the initial recipe but has since become a recommended ingredient for its texture and taste enhancement.
