this was really good. I made the chicken the night before, then threw together the salad. My only complaint is that the lime juice defiitely does not keep the avocado from browning - overnight in the fridge, and it looked like it had been in there for months. But, great combination of flavors. Thanks for posting

This was DELICIOUS ~ DH said it was "Outstanding" ~ that's unusual for him :) I made as a single salad for him and he absolutely loved it. A little secret: I was crunched for time so I used canned chicken breast, just added the seasonings and it was ready to go. I'm sure this would be even better with fresh chicken breasts. Thanks for posting looneytunesfan ~ made for Spring PAC 2010!
