This is one of my favorite salads. I add more cilantro than is called for because I love it so much. Make a little extra dressing and keep it on hand in the fridge. Can be used for marinates, dips and of course salad dressing.
Ingredients
-
1/3 colive or vegetable oil
-
2 Tbsplime juice
-
2 Tbspminced fresh cilantro
-
1/4 tspground cumin
-
1/4 tspsalt
-
1/8 tspcrushed red pepper flakes
-
2 ctorn leaf lettuce (romaine, spring mix or spinich work great)
-
1 ctomatoes cut in wedges (cherry or roma tomatoes work well)
-
1 ccubed chicken (about 1 chicken breast)
How to Make Refreshing Cilantro Chicken Salad for Two
- In a jar with a tight-fitting lid (a canning jar works best), combine the oil, lime juice, cilantro, cumin, salt and red pepper flakes. Do a dance and shake the jar well.
- In a bowl, combine the lettuce, chicken and tomatoes. Drizzle with dressing and toss to coat. You can add extra cilantro if you wish on top. Refrigerate any excess dressing. I have also used some of this to marinate the chicken in a separate bowl or container prior to cooking. Turned out very well.
