Notes
– Use rotisserie chicken for an even quicker prep.
– Substitute fresh dill with parsley or cilantro if preferred.
– To store, keep components separate and assemble just before serving.
– Add feta, nuts, or pita chips for extra flavor and crunch.
– Toss avocado in lemon juice to prevent browning if prepping ahead.
