I get great satisfaction from re-purposing leftovers. Often when planning dinner I already know what I will be making for lunch and dinner the next day with the leftovers. When I was grilling the chili cilantro lime chicken I made last week I was already dreaming up this yummy and gorgeous salad that would be dinner the next night. I went low carb with this salad (minus the fresh corn) but you could also add black beans to this salad which would be delicious. The best part of course is the dressing – a smooth, creamy, spicy and fresh avocado dressing that gets whipped up in the food processor in no time and is the perfect complement to this salad. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 batch cilantro lime chicken or any other grilled chicken breast

  • 1 large head romaine lettuce, thinly sliced

Dressing

The lemon in the dressing will prevent it from turning black.
