Instructions
- Whisk together all the dressing ingredients (or shake like crazy in a covered mason jar) until combined.
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken, corn, tomatoes, beans, green onions, olives and red pepper with about 1/2 to 2/3 of the dressing. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour or up to 8 hours.
- When ready to serve, toss the chicken mixture with the lettuce, cilantro, avocados, cheese and the remaining dressing (to taste - you may not want to add it all).
- Serve immediately with sour cream, crushed tortilla chips and salsa.
Notes
- Chicken: a rotisserie chicken works great here, grilled chicken, or this simple skillet method.
- Jicama: I didn't add this in the ingredients list but one time I made this and I added jicama to the lineup of crunchy vegetables and oh my, it was deliciousness.
