4. Pour the yogurt dressing over the chicken mixture and gently fold until evenly coated.
5. Add diced avocado, chopped parsley, and fresh dill to the bowl.

7. Sprinkle sunflower seeds or chopped almonds over the salad and toss gently.
8. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
9. Cover the salad and refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes so the flavors blend.
