Southwest Chicken Salad

"A salad that even salad skeptics will eat — because it's basically a burrito bowl that got deconstructed."

The Game Plan

  1. Shred about 2 cups of chicken from the rotisserie bird. Use breast and thigh meat — save the rest for another meal this week.

  2. Make the dressing: whisk together lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir in the chopped cilantro.

  3. Chop the romaine and divide among four bowls.

  4. Top each bowl with shredded chicken, black beans, roasted corn, diced tomatoes, and avocado.

  5. Drizzle the cilantro-lime dressing over everything. Toss gently or leave it looking pretty — your call.
