Where I used to live, there was a restaurant that made a wonderful salad with most of these ingredients. This is an embellished fusion version of it. If the chimichurri is made with cilantro, all the better!

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 c chopped romaine lettuce
4 oz grilled chicken breast or rotisserie chicken
1/4 c black beans, canned
2 Tbsp frozen corn, thawed
1 Tbsp red onion, minced
4 cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 small avocado, diced
2 Tbsp cotija cheese, crumbled
1-2 tsp sour cream, lite or regular
1-2 tsp lime juice
1 Tbsp chimichurri sauce
crispy tortilla strips, or crumbled tortilla chips for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Line large plate with romaine. Slice or shred chicken and place on lettuce.
  • 2. Distribute beans, onions, corn, tomatoes and avocado over chicken. Sprinkle cotija cheese over top.

I'm not a huge fan of chicken salad, but this one is really good. The dressing is light and flavorful, and the chicken is tender.
