Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- 2 medium cooked chicken breasts, shredded or chopped (rotisserie chicken recommended)
- 2 ripe avocados, pitted and diced
- 1/2 cup corn (roasted, canned, or frozen)
- 1/4 cup red or green onion, minced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, minced (or parsley or dill)
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (or lemon juice)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the shredded chicken, diced avocados, minced onion, corn, and cilantro. Make sure the chicken is fully cooked and shredded to bite-sized pieces for easy mixing.
- Dress the Salad: Drizzle the lime or lemon juice and olive oil over the mixture. Season well with salt and pepper to your taste preferences.
- Toss Gently: Carefully toss all the ingredients together until evenly coated and combined. Avoid mashing the avocado too much to keep the texture light and creamy.
- Serve Immediately: This salad can be served right away for best freshness, or chilled briefly before serving.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for convenience and added flavor.
- The lime juice helps prevent avocado browning and adds a tangy freshness.
- Substitute cilantro with parsley or dill to vary the flavor profile.
- This salad is best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
- For extra crunch, add chopped celery or cucumber.
