I love a good salad, especially in the summer! It's a perfect quick lunch or light dinner. My friend passed this one along to me a few years ago and I still love to pull it out and serve it for a filling, but lighter meal. This salad is packed full of amazing and the dressing has just a little zip that will leave you wanting more.
Ingredients:
Dressing
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon minced chipotle chile, canned in adobo sauce
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
4 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
Salad
4 cups shredded romaine lettuce
2 cups chicken, chopped
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup avocado, diced
1/3 cup red onion, thin slices
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained*
1 cup corn
*kidney or pinto beans are also good
Directions:
To prepare dressing, combine first 7 ingredients, stir until well mixed. To prepare salad, combine lettuce and the remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Drizzle dressing over salad; toss gently to coat. Optional topping - tortilla strips*. Serve immediately and enjoy!
* You can easily make 21 Day Fix tortilla strips by using corn tortillas. Brush with a little olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Use a pizza cutter to cut into thin strips. Toast for a few minutes until lightly toasted. 2 corn tortillas count as one yellow.
