Tutor's tips
- •Do not skip the cucumber wringing step, as the moisture will break the avocado emulsion and make the salad watery.
- •If you cannot find paleo furikake, make your own by pulsing toasted sesame seeds and crushed nori flakes with a pinch of salt.
- •For the best texture, use hand-shredded rotisserie chicken rather than cubed breast meat to better trap the avocado dressing.
