Chicken, Avocado, and Black Bean Salad






Serves 2

Ingredients
1/2 package (3-ounces)grilled chicken strips, diced
1/2 tablespoon lime juice
3/4 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 (14-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons red bell pepper, finely chopped
pinch of minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt
pinch of ground black pepper
pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
3/4 teaspoon chopped cilantro
1/2 avocado (4 ounces), halved

Instructions
Place the lime juice in a large bowl and gradually whisk in the oil. Stir in the beans, bell pepper, garlic, salt, black pepper, and pepper flakes (optional). Correct seasoning to taste. Add the diced chicken strips, and top with the cilantro. Mix well. Slice avocado and serve beside scoops of chicken and bean salad.

Time-Saver: Make the chicken and bean salad a day or night ahead without the cilantro or avocado. Slice the avocado and add cilantro immediately before serving.
