Steamed Chicken Salad With Herbed Avocado Mayo
A beautiful main meal chicken salad for any easy summer meal.
This Steamed Chicken Salad with Herbed Avocado Mayo is the ultimate quick and healthy Thermomix dinner. By using your Varoma, you can steam chicken and prawns at the same time, locking in moisture, flavour, and nutrients without any fuss. Tossed over fresh greens and topped with a zesty avocado herb mayo, it’s light yet satisfying, perfect for a weeknight meal that feels fresh, wholesome, and a little bit fancy with hardly any effort. You can add all the suggestions or go with what you have in the fridge. We do like roasted nuts as an additional protein hit, or leave them out if the kids are suspicious!
Serving Suggestions:
Serve warm or cold depending on the season
Add crusty sourdough on the side for a heartier meal
Pair with a glass of crisp white wine
Use leftovers as a wrap filling for lunch the next day
