A healthy twist on the classic potato salad, this Italian-inspired dish features creamy avocado, tender chicken, and nutrient-packed spinach.

Steps

  1. Boil the potato until tender, then let it cool and chop into cubes.
  2. Grill or bake the chicken breast until cooked through, then slice it.
  3. Hard boil the egg, peel, and dice it.
  4. In a bowl, mash the avocado and mix with a squeeze of lemon juice.
  5. Add the chopped potato, sliced chicken, diced egg, and spinach to the bowl.
  6. Gently toss everything together until well combined.
  7. Serve the salad chilled.

Tips for Avocado Chicken Potato Salad

  • For the best texture, chill the cooked ingredients before combining; warm potato can make the avocado dressing loose.
  • The salad should look creamy but still have distinct potato cubes and chicken pieces; toss gently to avoid crushing the potato.
  • Use a wide bowl and a flexible spatula for folding the spinach through without bruising it.

Drink pairing

A crisp, dry rosé
Its bright, refreshing character complements the creamy avocado and tender chicken without overpowering the spinach.

0% option: Sparkling water with lemon

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container within 2 hours and eat within 3–4 days. The avocado may darken over time; keep the salad chilled until serving.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make this salad ahead?

Cook and chill the chicken, potato, and egg ahead, then combine with the avocado and spinach close to serving for the freshest color and texture.

How can I tell when the potato is tender enough?

A fork should slide into the center easily, while the potato still holds its shape when lifted.

What should I serve with this salad?

Serve it as a light main with crusty bread or alongside a simple tomato salad.
