A lighter, slightly tropical take on the classic burger, this pineapple-topped turkey burger is flavored with coconut aminos and chili pepper flakes.

chicken avocado salad

Avocado Chicken Salad

Don’t get us wrong—we adore our Primal Kitchen Mayo made with avocado oil—but, sometimes it’s nice to switch things up with a chicken salad recipe that gets its healthy fat and flavor from mashed avocado.

  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup diced celery
