Salad Ingredients

Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne for a lightly spicy flavor. Grill or pan-sear until cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Black Bean and Corn Mix

    In a bowl, combine the black beans, corn, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Mix well and set aside.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large salad bowl, combine the green leaf lettuce, shredded white cabbage, sliced red onion, diced tomato, and the black bean and corn mix. Add the sliced chicken on top.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese and Dressing

    Sprinkle the shredded jack cheese over the salad. Serve with a side of chipotle ranch dressing.
