Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups Cooked Chicken Breast, diced
  • 2 medium Ripe Avocados, diced
  • 3 tbsp Fresh Lime Juice
  • 3 tbsp Mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup Red Onion, finely diced
  • 1 small Jalapeño, seeded and finely minced
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mash one of the diced avocados with a fork until mostly smooth with a few small chunks remaining. Stir in the mayonnaise and fresh lime juice to create a creamy avocado dressing.
  • Season the dressing with cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.
  • Place the diced cooked chicken breast in a large bowl. Pour the avocado dressing over the chicken and toss until every piece is fully coated.
  • Fold in the remaining diced avocado, red onion, and minced jalapeño. Stir gently so the avocado chunks stay intact and don't get smashed.
  • Sprinkle in the chopped fresh cilantro and give the salad one final gentle fold.
  • Serve immediately or cover tightly with plastic wrap pressed directly against the surface of the salad and refrigerate for up to a few hours. Enjoy on its own, in lettuce cups, or scooped onto tortilla chips.
