  3. Add Avocado and Chicken: Next, gently fold in the diced avocado and sliced grilled chicken to the salad mixture.
  4. Top with Cheese and Cilantro: Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top and finish with a generous amount of chopped cilantro for that fresh taste.
  5. Dress and Serve: Drizzle with your choice of Southwest dressing or lime vinaigrette, toss lightly, and serve immediately. Enjoy your vibrant and flavorful salad!
