What To Serve With It

I love how versatile this salad is—it pairs well with so many dishes!

Grilled chicken is one of my go-to options; its smoky flavor complements the creamy avocado and sweet corn perfectly.

I also enjoy serving it alongside spicy tacos—the cool, fresh salad balances the heat and adds a nice crunch.

Sometimes, I’ll even toss it into a burrito bowl for extra texture.

It’s great with fish, like grilled shrimp or salmon, too.

Honestly, this salad works with almost anything, making it a lifesaver for quick, delicious meals.

Try it with your favorite protein—you won’t be disappointed!
