I served this at a BBQ and everyone loved it. I did not put the garnishes on the side for everyone, I just mixed them right into the salad so the food line would not get held up. Time includes chilling time.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup cider vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2-inch strips
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
16 ounces frozen corn, thawed
1 cup chopped plum tomato
15 ounces black beans, rinsed and drained
5 green onions, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
10 ounces lettuce (bagged mix)
2 avocados, peeled and chopped
2 cups monterey jack cheese, shredded
6 ounces corn chips, slightly crushed (blue corn)
1 cup sour cream
16 ounces thick & chunky salsa
Directions:
1. Mix dressing ingredients and set aside.
2. Heat oil in skillet. Sprinkle chicken with garlic salt, saute in pan until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
3. Combine cooked chicken, corn, tomatoes, black beans, onions and red pepper in large bowl; stir in dressing.
4. Chill at least 1 hour (can be prepared a day ahead).
5. When ready to serve, combine chicken mixture with lettuce. Serve with remaining garnishes - each diner garnishes own salad as desired.
