For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken in the spice rub for at least 30 minutes before grilling. Feel free to customize the salad with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, or pickled onions. If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can cook the chicken in a grill pan on the stovetop or bake it in the oven at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 20-25 minutes. To prevent the avocado from browning, toss it with a little lime juice before adding it to the salad. Make it a vegetarian dish: Replace the chicken with grilled halloumi cheese or seasoned tofu for a delicious vegetarian option.
