For the salad:


  • 1 1/2 cups shredder or chopped cooked chicken breast (from rotisserie or about 1/2 pound raw chicken breasts)

  • 6 cups chopped Romaine lettuce hearts

  • 1 cup canned, no-salt-added corn kernels (drained, rinsed)

  • 1 cup chopped tomatoes

  • 1/2 cup sliced radishes

  • 2 tablespoon finely chopped red onion

  • 1 avocado (peeled, pitted, diced)


Directions


For the dressing:

  • Into the bowl of a food processor or blender, add all the ingredients.

  • Process until dressing is smooth, about 30 to 45 seconds. Scrape dressing down from the sides with a spatula and process again, about 20 seconds.

  • Transfer dressing to a bowl and reserve.


For the Salad:

  • If using rotisserie chicken, remove the skin from the chicken breast and discard skin. Shred the meat using 2 forks or chop it up into small pieces with a knife. If preparing chicken breasts, use directions below.

  • Prepare the vegetables: thinly chop the Romaine hearts; drain the liquid from the canned corn and rinse it; chop the tomatoes; slice the radishes; finely chop the red onion; and peel the avocado, remove the pit, and dice it.

  • Onto a large platter or divided equally onto plates, arrange the salad by first layering the lettuce. Top with chicken, corn, tomatoes, radishes, red onion, and avocado.

  • Serve with the Creamy Cilantro-Lime Dressing on the side or drizzle it on top of the salad
