Welcome to StartCooking.com.

I'm Kathy Maister. Mixed together chicken and avocado, add a few diced vegetables, and some wild rice,

and this salad turns into a complete meal in a bowl.

The ingredients and equipment list is at the end of this video.

Start by cooking one box of long grain and wild rice according to the directions on the box. Let it cool.

You can buy already cooked chicken or cook it yourself.

Check my other videos to see how.

These three cooked chicken breasts will give us about three cups of chicken.

Cut the chicken up into chunks, about three quarters of an inch big.

Put it into a large bowl.

The washed red pepper needs to be cut in

half, then remove the stem and seeds. Cut the pepper into thin strips and then into a dice,

about one-fourth inch big. Three green onions need to be diced as well. The white part has a

stronger flavor than the green part. Cut off the hairy ends and then cut the onions in half.

Line them up and dice the whole thing. Now add the green part. Cut off the hairy ends and then cut the onions in half. Line them up

and dice the whole thing. Now add the cooked rice. Give the bottle of your favorite

vinaigrette salad dressing a shake. Add one third cup of dressing to the bowl. Gently

mixed everything together. Cover and refrigerate the salad for about two to four hours

before serving it. Just before you're ready to serve this beautiful salad, about two to four hours before serving it.

Just before you're ready to serve this beautiful salad, we need to do two more things.

Squeeze the juice from one lemon and cut up two avocados.

Be sure to strain the seeds from the lemon juice.
