CUMIN CHICKEN & AVOCADO SALAD

A pinch of chili gives this a nice kick, perfect in the garden with a few Mexican beers. This has a slightly Mexican flavour, combining warm chicken tossed with cumin and chili powder, kidney beans and creamy avocado. The tomatoes are slightly cooked too, so their juice bursts into the Caesar dressing as you cut into them - delicious.
