Notes
This salad can be served as a main dish or a side. It tastes great on its own, with tortilla chips, or as a filling in wraps. For added flavor, grill the chicken with some seasoning before dicing it. Mix in some avocado for creaminess and healthy fats. You can also add jalapeños for heat or convert it to a vegetarian dish by using black beans instead.
