For a vegetarian option, omit the chicken and add chickpeas or white beans for protein.
To prevent the avocado from browning, toss it with a little lemon juice before adding it to the salad.
Feel free to substitute other types of nuts for the pine nuts, such as walnuts or almonds.
The vinaigrette can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
