Fiesta Salad
12th August, 2009
The only reason I can think to call this Fiesta Salad is because it’s a party in your mouth. : ) The flavor is tangy, but not overpowering when used sparingly, and is a healthy, oil free, blend of awesome veggies and flavors.
Lime-Honey Dressing:
- ¼ c. lime juice
- ¼ c. applesauce
- ¼ c. apple cider vinegar
- 2 Tbs honey
- 2 Tbs cilantro
- 2 garlic cloves, minced very fine
Meat Mixture:
- 3 small chicken breasts, trimmed of fat and cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 small onion, cut into thin rings
- ½ red pepper, chopped to small pieces
- 1 Tbs fresh chopped cilantro
Salad:
- Romaine lettuce
- black beans, drained, rinsed
- corn, drained
- cucumbers
- cilantro
- avocado chunks
- tortilla chip crumbles
- cheese, if desired
Mix together all dressing ingredients until well blended making about 1 cup of dressing (I didn’t use nearly that much, so this can be halved if you aren’t feeding a big crowd). Refrigerate until needed.
Sauté chicken, onion, and pepper chunks in about ¼ c. dressing mixture. Add fresh cilantro.
When the meat is ready build your salad master piece!
