Ingredients
- 2 sheets nori
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup celery, diced
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken, diced celery, and chopped green onions.
- Add mayonnaise to the chicken mixture and stir until all ingredients are evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste, mixing thoroughly.
- Place a nori sheet on a clean, flat surface or bamboo sushi mat with the shiny side facing down.
- Spread the chicken salad mixture evenly across the bottom third of the nori sheet, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Arrange sliced avocado in a single line across the chicken salad mixture.
- Carefully roll the nori sheet from the bottom, using gentle but firm pressure to create a tight wrap. Moisten the top edge of the nori with a small amount of water to help seal the wrap.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the wrap diagonally into two equal portions.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Chicken Salad Nori Wrap at room temperature.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for easier mixing and rolling
- Make sure your chicken is finely shredded for a smoother filling
- Pat your avocado dry before placing it in the wrap to prevent sogginess
- Use a sharp knife when cutting to get clean, precise wrap sections
- If the nori seems dry, lightly brush with water to increase flexibility
- For extra flavor, consider adding a dash of sesame oil or Japanese rice vinegar to your chicken salad mixture
- Serve immediately after preparing to maintain the nori's crisp texture
- For a low-carb option, you can also use the chicken salad as a lettuce wrap filling
