This light lunch is made with ingredients from the popular Mexican appetizer, guacamole. However, there's no avocado paste or puree here. You'll only taste the guacamole when the ingredients are combined into a salad. Shake up the delicious dressing separately. You'll make quite a bit, so store it in a glass jar in the refrigerator to save time next time. Drizzle the dressing over a salad of greens, tomatoes, avocado, and chicken, add corn chips for a satisfying meal, and enjoy. The salad can be placed in a to-go container, with the chips and dressing packed separately.
