Instructions

  1. Prepare the arepas: Preheat oven to 325°F. In a large bowl, combine masarepa, water, shredded queso fresco, and salt. Knead with hands until a smooth dough comes together. If too sticky, add water by the tablespoonful until moist and uniform. Break into 6 pieces and roll into balls. Place on a parchment covered baking sheet or cutting board, cover with another sheet of parchment, and press a skillet or other heavy cutting board on top, flattening balls into 1/2”-thick discs.
  2. Cook arepas: Melt butter in a cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Cook arepas for about 5 minutes on the first side, until golden brown, working in batches if needed. Flip and cook on other side for another 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet and place in preheated oven for 10 to 12 more minutes until cooked through. Set aside and let cool.
  3. Prepare chicken salad: In a blender or food processor, combine avocado, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and cider vinegar until smooth. Pour into a large bowl and mix in tarragon, parsley, and salt until well combined. Add chicken, celery, apple, walnuts, grapes, and queso fresco and toss until all ingredients are incorporated.
