Avocado Chicken Salad With Southwest Ranch Dressing Food

AVOCADO & CHICKEN SALAD WITH SOUTHWEST RANCH DRESSING

Steps:

• In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, yogurt, milk, lemon/lime juice and Smokey Southwest Seasoning. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth - this may take a minute or two. Put into a Tupperware-like container (again, this makes more than you need), add the minced green onion, the cilantro and season with black pepper.
• Put the greens, tomatoes, red onion, black beans, pepper jack cheese and cooked chicken in a bowl. Drizzle the dressing over all. Top with your diced avocado, sprinkling it with a little bit of salt first. Garnish with some extra chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
• Try not to eat at every meal. Then again, why not?!

SOUTHWEST CHICKEN SALAD WITH AVOCADO RANCH DRESSING

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together lime juice, cumin, chili powder and sea salt. Add the chicken halves and toss to cover them with marinade. Place in the fridge and marinate for 20 minutes while you prep the rest of the ingredients (I recommend prepping the avocado once the chicken is cooked to avoid browning)
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove visible garlic pieces from the chicken (to avoid them burning) and brown 2-3 minutes on each side. Reduce heat and continue cooking for 6-7 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (no longer pink inside) but still tender.
• Place on a cutting board, allow to cool slightly and slice (I use a tong to hold the chicken while I cut it)
• Arrange all salad ingredients (except dressing and lime wedges) in a large salad bowl or two plates, top with chicken pieces and drizzle with avocado ranch. Serve with extra lime wedges and enjoy!
