2. In a medium bowl mash together the avocado and ¼ cup of Greek yogurt until smooth; then add the ½ tsp. garlic powder and the chopped onion, celery; then blend.
3. Add about 12 oz. of cooked chicken (canned chicken, drained, works well), ¼ cup of dried cranberries, and 2 tsp. of apple cider vinegar; blend well.
4. Add salt and pepper to taste and, if needed, add a little more Greek yogurt to suit your desired level of moistness.

Notes:

• This salad is also tasty on top of a bed of your favorite salad greens. Mashed avocado, with Greek yogurt and a dash of vinegar, is also a great homemade dressing to top salads. 
• Serve 1-2 sandwiches per plate alongside a bed of fresh spinach greens, topped with a few slices of strawberries, a few crushed peanuts, and a small drizzle of your favorite salad dressing.
