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 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. Ensure the ingredients are fresh and well-prepared for best flavor.
- Add Dressing: Drizzle the lime or lemon juice and olive oil over the salad mixture. This adds a bright citrus flavor and healthy fats to enhance the creaminess of the avocado.
- Season and Toss: Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste. Gently toss all ingredients together until they are evenly combined but the avocado remains chunky for texture.
Notes
- Use ripe avocados to ensure smooth creaminess in the salad.
- Roasted corn adds a sweet, smoky flavor, but canned or frozen corn works well too.
- This salad is best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one day; add avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
- Substitute cilantro with parsley or dill based on preference.
- Serve on its own, in sandwiches, or over greens for a versatile meal.
