Ingredients

Spicy Lime Dressing

  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 to 3 drops red pepper sauce

Salad

  • 2 cups cut-up cooked chicken
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 large tomato, chopped (1 cup)
  • 1 medium avocado, peeled and chopped
  • 1 small yellow summer squash, chopped
  • 1 can (15 oz) Progresso™ black beans, drained, rinsed
  • Leaf lettuce

Steps

  • 1
    In tightly covered container, shake all dressing ingredients until well blended.
  • 2
    In large bowl, toss all salad ingredients except lettuce. Pour dressing over salad; toss. Serve on lettuce leaves.

  • Fresh cilantro is actually the leaf of the coriander seed. Coriander--a tiny, round, aromatic spice--is used most often in baking and tastes nothing like its fresh and fragrant cilantro leaves.
  • If you don't have much time, pick up a roasted chicken from the deli. One roasted chicken will yield about 2 to 2 1/2 cups of cut-up chicken.
