Creating a delicious Avocado Corn Chicken Salad is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prep the Chicken: If you’re not using pre-cooked chicken, start by cooking the chicken breasts in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes on each side. Let it cool and then dice.
2. Combine Fresh Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the diced avocado, corn, red bell pepper, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and fresh cilantro.
3. Add Chicken: Gently fold in the cooked and diced chicken, ensuring not to mash the avocado.
4. Prepare Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
5. Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
6. Taste and Adjust: Taste your salad and adjust with more salt, pepper, or lime juice according to your preference.
7. Chill (Optional): For enhanced flavors, consider chilling the salad in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving.
These steps will guide you in creating this incredible salad with ease, allowing you to enjoy a meal that is as delightful to prepare as it is to eat.
