Guacamole "Chicken" Salad

I've been searching for several weeks for a vegetarian chicken salad and haven't been able to find one. So, finally tonight I decided to make one for dinner. This time though I really wanted to combine my craving for guacamole in it. So, it was almost like a really good guacamole with "chicken" in it. All the textures, flavors, and colors made it a tasty treat! I couldn't think of a creative name for it though... any ideas?
