Ingredients
  

Salad
  • 4 cups baby leaf lettuce
  • ⅓ cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • ⅔ cup fresh corn, stir-fried
  • 6 grape tomatoes, chopped or sliced
  • 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • Generous sprinkling chili powder
  • Pinch garlic powder
  • Pinch cumin
  • ½ small lime, juiced
  • 1/8-1/4 teaspoon Chili-Lime Seasoning Blend (optional)
Honey-Lime Vinaigrette
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • ½ lime zested
  • ½ tablespoon honey
  • ¼ teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1/16 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
 

Salad
  • Place the lettuce into a bowl. Add the black beans, corn, tomatoes, and cheddar cheese in groups around the bowl.
  • Add the chicken to a nonstick skillet. Add the lime juice, a generous sprinkling of chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, and the chili-lime seasoning blend. (If not using the seasoning blend, sprinkle extra chili powder and add a sprinkling of salt.) Heat and stir until the chicken is coated with the spice and is hot. Add the chicken to the salad.
Honey-Lime Vinaigrette
  • Add all the vinaigrette ingredients to a food processor (or place them into a canning jar with a lid). Blend all of the ingredients to emulsify the dressing. If using a canning jar to blend the ingredients, add a tight-fitting lid and shake vigorously until the vinaigrette is emulsified.
