LAYERED CHICKEN AVOCADO NACHO SALAD



Layered Chicken Avocado Nacho Salad image

This is a delicious salad, great to serve to company in the summer season (or anytime of the year!) Prepare this salad in a clear glass bowl to show off the colours. Serve with vinaigrette or buttermilk dressing. This salad should be made up to only an hour in advance as the tortilla chips will get soggy, best served as soon as prepared, if you are making this in advance, cover and chill. Can use more than 2 cups salsa if desired

LIME CHICKEN-AVOCADO SALAD



Lime Chicken-Avocado Salad image

A light, refreshing recipe! It is adapted from a recipe found on one of those cards in the grocery store. Pairs quite well with cilantro lime rice. 1 hour of the prep time accounts for the time needed to marinate the chicken. Add more cayenne pepper if you like it spicy!
