Sante Fe Grilled Chicken Salad w/ Cilantro Dressing
For salad:
Mixed greens
grilled chicken breast
corn kernels
rinsed black beans
diced red bell pepper
shredded cheese
For Dressing:
3 cloves garlic
1 tbsp. minced ginger
2 bunches finely chopped
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1 1/2 tsp. wine vinegar
1/2 tsp. cumin
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
1 tbsp. honey
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup canola oil
1/4 cup olive oil
To make dressing:
Drop garlic cloves and ginger through feed tube while motor is on. Mince well. Add the cilantro and process until finely chopped. Add spices, lime juice, vinegar, honey, and parmesan cheese. Process until well mixed. With motor still running, slowly pour the oil through the feed tube. Let process one more minute.
Notes: You can add crispy tortilla strips for non low-carbers if desired. I also like to combine the corn, black beans, and red pepper ahead of time with a little lime juice and refrigerate.
