Chicken and Avocado Salad
Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken works well)
2 avocados, diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 small red onion, finely chopped
1 bell pepper, diced (any color)
1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Juice of 2 limes
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare the chicken: If using rotisserie chicken, shred or dice the cooked chicken. If cooking chicken breasts, season them with salt and pepper and cook in a skillet until fully cooked, then let cool and dice.
Mix the salad ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, avocados, cherry tomatoes, red onion, bell pepper, corn, and cilantro.
Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Combine: Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
Serve: Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
