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)

  • 1/4 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.

  1. Mix the salad ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, avocados, cherry tomatoes, red onion, bell pepper, corn, and cilantro.

  2. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper.

  3. Combine: Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.

  4. Serve: Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
