directions
- Prepare dressing by combining all the ingredients. Whisk well. Set aside.
- Prepare the avocado and after cutting into slices, drizzle with some lime juice to prevent browning.
- (If using romaine lettuce, cut into 1/2" strips.) Place the lettuce into a large serving bowl. Arrange the cotija cheese, chicken, beans, and the remaining vegetables, except for the avocado, in rows over the lettuce.
- Just before serving toss the salad with dressing. Place the avocados around the inner rim of the salad bowl. Garnish with lime slices and cilantro sprigs. Serve immediately.
- NOTE: You can also layer the salad mixture in a trifle bowl for a colorful presentation.
