This chicken vegetable salad is perfect if you’re looking for a “fill me up” kind of salad.
This is one of those recipes that really doesn’t look like much. But once you taste it, you’ll want it every single day for lunch for a whole month straight. At least that was my reaction….
Truly, this simple looking salad is packed with a ton of flavor that is totally unexpected. What’s the secret?
The guacamole, of course! Make sure when you make your guacamole, that it totally makes your taste buds dance because it will literally make this salad. The better your guacamole is, the better this salad will be.
That being said, I make my guacamole at home and don’t use any salsa or hot spice. I don’t care for spicy or peppery guacamole, and I’m not sure it would serve this dish very well (though some of you may like it that way!). So make the guacamole without spice to start, and then add it if you think you’ll like it.
Trust me, this is good!! Plus, it’s a great way to use up leftovers!

Sounds delish, easy, healthy & best of all Paleo & I’m gonna make it.
However, I can’t help wondering why we can’t see the guacamole in the photo. It should’ve added a visible green coating, no?
The Gracious Pantry says
Reg – I took the photo without it because it would have looked all mushy and gross. But I did mix it in after I took the photo. Some things just don’t photograph very well. At least not for me!

Natasha says
Could you recommend an alternative for jicama? I can´t buy it where I live, but this salad looks wonderful!
The Gracious Pantry says
Natasha – You could use just about any veggie. If you don’t mind the spicy factor, radishes might work well.
