Steps:

• For the cilantro-jalapeno vinaigrette: Whisk together the cilantro, lime juice, vinegar, cumin, sugar, jalapeno, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds pepper in a small bowl. Slowly drizzle in the oil, whisking, until the vinaigrette comes together and is well blended. (The vinaigrette makes enough for about 5 salads; refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.)
• For the salad: Soak the onion in a bowl of cold water for 10 minutes, then drain.
• Add the drained onion to a large bowl with the mixed greens, chicken, tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette. Toss together and season with salt and pepper. Cut the avocado into small pieces. Top the salad with the avocado and a squeeze of lime and sprinkle with the tortilla chips.

GREEN PEA GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and prepare a bowl with water and ice. Plunge peas into the boiling water and cook until al dente, about 1 minute. Drain peas and immediately transfer to the ice bath. Drain.
• Heat broiler to high and broil one of the jalapeños on a heatproof pan. Cook, turning occasionally, until jalapeño is completely charred. Transfer to a small bowl, cover tightly in plastic wrap and let sit for 15 minutes. When cool enough to handle, use a towel to wipe off the charred skin. Halve, seed and devein the roasted jalapeño. Then halve, seed, and mince the remaining raw jalapeño.
• In a blender or the bowl of a food processor, purée peas (reserving 2 tablespoons for garnish) with roasted jalapeño, minced raw jalapeño, cilantro and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Process until almost smooth but still a little chunky.
• In a medium bowl, combine mashed avocado, scallions, lime zest, lime juice, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pea purée. Adjust salt and lime juice as needed and garnish with fresh peas, sunflower seeds and flaky sea salt. Serve with tortilla chips and lime wedges.

TANGY GREEN GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• Remove the little nub of stem that is still usually lodged at the top of each avocado. Cut each avocado in half by slicing straight down through that spot where the stem was attached, until you reach the pit, then rotating the knife all the way around the pit. Twist the 2 halves apart, then scoop out the pits. With a spoon, scoop out the soft flesh from the skins, collecting it in a large bowl as you go. Coarsely mash with the spoon (or you can use an old-fashioned potato masher or large fork).
• Gently stir the salsa into the avocado mixture, along with the cilantro. Taste and season with salt. Cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface and refrigerate until you're ready to serve. (Not only will the guacamole improve if made 1/2 hour or so before serving, but also it will maintain its fresh look longer if served cold.) Scoop into a decorative bowl, garnish with cilantro sprigs and you're ready to set it out for your guests to enjoy.
