Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/3 cup canola oil
1/4 cup snipped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup snipped fresh marjoram
1/4 cup lime juice
2 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, drained and finely chopped*
1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
12 cups packaged chopped hearts of romaine or 1 head romaine lettuce, coarsely shredded
4 cups shredded cooked chicken**
1 small red onion, finely chopped
1 15-oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 avocado, halved, seeded, peeled, and chopped
2 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 cup cooked fresh or frozen corn***
2 Tbsp. snipped fresh chives
2 limes, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • 1. For dressing, in a small bowl whisk together oil, cilantro, marjoram, lime juice, vinegar, chipotle peppers, and salt. Set aside. 2. Arrange lettuce on a very large platter. In a large bowl combine chicken, onion, and 1/4 cup dressing. Toss to coat. Arrange chicken mixture, black beans, avocado, tomatoes, and corn in rows atop lettuce on platter. Sprinkle with chives; drizzle the remaining dressing. Serve with lime wedges. Makes 8 servings. *HANDLING HOT CHILE PEPPERS: Because hot chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes, avoid direct contact with chiles as much as possible. When working with chile peppers, wear plastic or rubber gloves. If your bare hands do touch the chile peppers, wash your hands and fingernails well with soap and water when you are done. **TIP: For quick cooked chicken, purchase a deli-roasted chicken. Remove the meat and shred enough chicken to make 4 cups. ***TO COOK CORN: For fresh corn, remove the husks and silks from 2 fresh ears of corn. Rinse. Cook, covered, in enough boiling lightly salted water to cover for 5 to 7 minutes or until kernels are tender. Submerse in ice water to cool quickly; drain well. Carefully cut corn off the cobs. For frozen corn, cook 1 cup corn according to package directions. MAKE AHEAD: Prepare salad as directed, except toss avocado gently with 1 tablespoon lime juice to prevent browning; do not drizzle with dressing. Cover and chill salad and dressing for up to 4 hours.

This salad was just okay. The dressing was a bit bland and the salad itself was not very flavorful. I probably won't be making this again.

This salad was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. The dressing is very flavorful, and the combination of ingredients in the salad is perfect. I will definitely be making this again, but I'll use less chipotle pepper next time.

I wasn't a big fan of this salad. The dressing was too heavy and the salad itself was just okay. I probably won't be making this again.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this salad. I'm not usually a fan of Cobb salads, but the Mexican flavors in this one really won me over. The dressing is also very good.
