This yummy salad contains many of my favorite things so I had no doubt it would be good. The flavor the first day was amazing. The second day it was a little dry. I used a quart of canned chicken and it was too much (and probably contributed to the dryness). Use less next time. Also try chunks instead of shredded.

1 1/2 c rice (before cooking)
3 c water
3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked and diced
1 avocado, peeled and diced
1 mango, peeled and diced
3/4 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
1 1/4 t salt
3/4 t pepper
3 1/2 T lime juice (juice of 2 limes)
1/3 c olive oil
Cook rice as directed. Set aside.
Add cooled, diced chicken breasts to rice, then add mango, avocado and chopped cilantro. Toss together, then in a separate bowl combine the lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper and pour over the chicken / rice / fruit mixture. Stir until just combined. Serve cold or at room temperature. Serves 8.
