1 cup frozen peas, thawed

▪

3 Monterey Jack cheese sticks (snack sticks) cut into chunks (you can

3 medium carrots, chopped

▪

Ranch dressing (We use the packet to make our own…much better

▪

tasting)

Instructions

1.Cook pasta according to directions on the box. Drain it.

2.Place colander with drained pasta into a bowl with ice and water in it to

cool it off.

3.Put all the rest of the ingredients, except the ranch dressing into a bowl.

Pour the cooled pasta onto a clean towel and really dry it off.

Pour pasta into the bowl

there’s no exact science to it.

. Stir in the ranch as you like it. A little, a lot—

1 8 oz cram cheese softened

1 c mayo

1 4 oz can green chili peppers

Avocado Chicken Salad Recipe

Prep Time: 10-15 minutes

Ingredients:

▪ 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped

▪ 1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted

▪ 1/4 cup sliced almonds

▪ juice from half a lime

▪ 1/2 tablespoon olive oil (optional)

▪ 1/4 cup scallions, diced

▪ salt and pepper, to taste

Shred or chop the cooked chicken until bite sized pieces and set aside.

• I also added about a ¼ a cup of mayo.

In the bowl of a small food processor, combine the avocado, almonds,

lime juice, and olive oil (if using). Pulse together a few times until

the avocado is smooth and creamy. Add in the shredded chicken and

pulse 2-3 times until combined. (Do not pulse more than 3 times or

else the chicken will be too finely chopped.)

If you are not using a food processor, in a medium size bowl, mash

the avocado, almonds, lime juice, and olive oil (if using) using a fork

until the avocado is smooth and creamy. Add in the shredded chicken

and mix to combine.

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Spread on toasted whole-wheat

bread and enjoy!
