Palta Reina

This is from Peru, we had it a couple of times while we were there. It’s very refreshing, especially on a hot day when you don’t want to cook.

Ingredients:

1 Avocado
1 can White Meat Chicken
1 Carrot
1/2 cup Cheddar Cheese, (buy pre-shredded or you’ll have to shred)
1 Small Onion
1 Bunch Fresh Green Beans
1/4 cup Frozen Peas (canned peas are too mushy)
1/4 cup Mayonnaise
Salt and Pepper to taste

Halve the avocado and scoop out of the skin, discard pit. You can either keep the two halves whole, which makes for interesting presentation, or slice, which makes for easier eating.

Shred the carrot and the cheese. Dice the onion. Cut the green beans into 1/2" pieces. Thaw the peas, but do not heat up. Drain the can of chicken.

Mix the carrot, cheese, onion, beans, peas, and chicken in a bowl with mayo to moisten. Salt and pepper accordingly.

Serve the chicken salad over the avocado. Muy bueno!
