Southwest Salad

Dressing Ingredients:

• 1 avocado

• 1/2 cup mint

• 1/2 cup cilantro

• 1 lime, juiced

• 1/4 cup yogurt

• 2 tbsp water

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1 clove garlic

• green hot sauce

Salad Ingredients:

• Romaine lettuce

• Halved cherry tomatoes

• Corn

• Sliced radish

• Red bell pepper, sliced

• Cotija cheese (or feta!)

• Blue corn tortilla, broken

• 2 Chicken breasts (season with 3 good shakes of garlic powder, paprika, ancho chili powder, cumin, cayenne, & hot sauce)

Method:

1. Combine all salad dressing ingredients in a food processor. Blitz until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste - remember that vegetables in the salad are water dense - this means you can up the salt and acidity levels in your dressing to make a more balanced salad experience!

2. Allow sliced chicken breasts to marinate with spices in an air tight container in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

3. Fry off in chicken in a cast iron pan, about 5 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool.

4. Toss all salad ingredients together, omitting or adding ingredients to taste.
