Avocado Chicken Salad

1/2 c. firmly packed fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems
1/2 c. coarsely chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
1/4 c. firmly packed fresh dill
1 T. drained capers
1 t. lemon zest, plus more for garnish
1 T. lemon juice
2 cloves garlic
3/4 t. salt
1/2 t. ground pepper
2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted, divided
1/3 c. mayonnaise
1/4 c. whole-milk plain Greek yogurt
3 c. shredded cooked chicken breast

Combine cilantro, chives, dill, capers, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and the flesh from 1 avocado in a food processor; process until finely chopped, about 30 seconds. Add mayonnaise and yogurt, and process until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.

Dice the remaining avocado and place in a medium bowl. Add the chicken and the dressing; stir gently until combined and evenly coated. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours. 

Garnish with additional chives and lemon zest before serving, if desired.

Serves 6.
