Notes
- Serve salad with our avocado salad dressing or homemade ranch dressing.
- If you aren’t planning to use all the dressing right away, store it in a mason jar or other sealable container in the refrigerator. The ingredients may separate as the dressing sits. When this occurs, give the bottle or jar a good shake to recombine everything before adding it to your salad.
- You could substitute pinto beans or kidney beans for the black beans. Swap the chicken for other proteins like cooked turkey or beef. Try it with different combinations of shredded cheese and all kinds of greens.
