Carrageenan Free Chicken & Herb Stuffed Avocado Bites
These stuffed avocado bites are the kind of appetizer that looks like you spent way more time than you actually did — creamy, fresh, and packed with bright herby flavor in every bite. The filling brings together tender shredded chicken, crisp cucumber, red onion, and a trio of fresh herbs, all tossed in a zippy apple cider vinegar and olive oil dressing with a warm hit of turmeric and ginger. Carrageenan is a thickener and stabilizer that sneaks into a surprising number of dressings, deli meats, and dairy-based sauces, but every component here is whole and unprocessed, so there's nothing to second-guess. The lemon juice brushed over the avocado halves keeps everything looking gorgeous right up until serving. It comes together in one bowl with no cooking required beyond the chicken, making it an effortless choice for a light lunch, party spread, or meal-prep situation. Serve them immediately for the best texture, when the avocado is cool and the filling is still vibrant and fresh.
