Refreshing Cilantro Chicken Salad for Two image

This is one of my favorite salads. I add more cilantro than is called for because I love it so much. Make a little extra dressing and keep it on hand in the fridge. Can be used for marinates, dips and of course salad dressing.

Categories     Salads

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 c olive or vegetable oil
2 Tbsp lime juice
2 Tbsp minced fresh cilantro
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
2 c torn leaf lettuce (romaine, spring mix or spinich work great)
1 c tomatoes cut in wedges (cherry or roma tomatoes work well)
1 c cubed chicken (about 1 chicken breast)

Steps:

  • 1. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid (a canning jar works best), combine the oil, lime juice, cilantro, cumin, salt and red pepper flakes. Do a dance and shake the jar well.
  • 2. In a bowl, combine the lettuce, chicken and tomatoes. Drizzle with dressing and toss to coat. You can add extra cilantro if you wish on top. Refrigerate any excess dressing. I have also used some of this to marinate the chicken in a separate bowl or container prior to cooking. Turned out very well.

Overall, I thought this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The chicken in this salad was a bit tough. I would have preferred it to be more tender.

I added some chopped avocado to this salad and it was delicious. I also used Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
