Instructions

  • In a large bowl roughly mash the avocados, then add the lime juice and season with salt and pepper.
  • To the same bowl add the rest of the ingredients and toss well.

Notes

  1. Chicken: Use rotisserie chicken to save time. You could also cook your own chicken breast.
  2. Leftovers: Transfer the salad to an airtight container, and place plastic wrap directly over the surface of the salad to prevent the avocados from turning brown. Refrigerate for up to a couple days.
