Ingredients

For the Salad

2 cups Grilled Chicken Provides protein and smoky flavor; substitute with rotisserie chicken for convenience.
1 large Avocado Adds creaminess and healthy fats; best when ripe; can sub with plain Greek yogurt.
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes Provides sweetness and juiciness; can replace with diced regular tomatoes.
1 medium Cucumber Offers crunch; English cucumber is best for fewer seeds, or substitute with bell peppers.
1 tablespoon Lime Juice Brightens flavor; lemon juice is a suitable alternative.
1 handful Fresh Herbs e.g., cilantro or parsley; enhances flavor complexity.
