Description

A flavorful fusion of shredded chicken, black beans, and fresh veggies, topped with a zesty lime dressing.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn, frozen or canned
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, diced bell pepper, avocado, cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, and chopped cilantro. Mix them gently to keep the avocado from mashing.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, cumin, salt, and pepper until the dressing is well-blended.
  3. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to combine all the ingredients.
  4. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture. Consider adding jalapeños for a spicy kick.
