Ingredients
Dressing:
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar
- 6 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons cumin ground
- ½ teaspoon oregano dried
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Salad:
- 4 cups chicken cooked, chopped
- 1 ½ cups corn kernels thawed if frozen, fresh or frozen
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes or roma tomatoes; chopped
- 1 (15-ounce) (15-ounce) can black beans rinsed and drained well
- 3 green onions white and green parts chopped
- 1 (15-ounce) (15-ounce) can olive drained and cut in half
- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- 3 small romaine lettuce chopped (about 6-8 cups, hearts
- ½ cup cilantro chopped
- 2 avocado diced
- 1 cup cheddar cheese or a combination, cubed, or Monterey Jack cheese
- sour cream blue corn tortilla chips and salsa for serving
Instructions
- Whisk together all the dressing ingredients (or shake like crazy in a covered mason jar) until combined.
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken, corn, tomatoes, beans, green onions, olives and red pepper with about 1/2 to 2/3 of the dressing. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour or up to 8 hours.
- When ready to serve, toss the chicken mixture with the lettuce, cilantro, avocados, cheese and the remaining dressing (to taste - you may not want to add it all).
- Serve immediately with sour cream, crushed tortilla chips and salsa.
Notes
- Chicken: a rotisserie chicken works great here, grilled chicken, or this simple skillet method.
- Jicama: I didn't add this in the ingredients list but one time I made this and I added jicama to the lineup of crunchy vegetables and oh my, it was deliciousness.
