CILANTRO, LIME & JALAPEñO VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Lightly dry roast the ground cumin in a pan (optional)
• Finely chop the cilantro leaves and stems.
• Juice the lime or lemons into separate bowl. I recommend leaving one half of the citrus aside for last minute squeeze.
• Combine ingredients:Option 1: In a mixing bowl, add the neutral oil, ground cumin, salt and pepper. Use a whisk or spoon to aggressively combine. Then add the cilantro, jalapeño, and lime juice.Option 2: Combine the ingredients in a high-power blender. Puree or pulse ingredients together until the mixture comes together and the cilantro is still finely chopped.
• Set aside in small container with lid, and shake before serving.

Steps:

• For the cilantro-jalapeno vinaigrette: Whisk together the cilantro, lime juice, vinegar, cumin, sugar, jalapeno, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds pepper in a small bowl. Slowly drizzle in the oil, whisking, until the vinaigrette comes together and is well blended. (The vinaigrette makes enough for about 5 salads; refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.)
• For the salad: Soak the onion in a bowl of cold water for 10 minutes, then drain.
• Add the drained onion to a large bowl with the mixed greens, chicken, tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette. Toss together and season with salt and pepper. Cut the avocado into small pieces. Top the salad with the avocado and a squeeze of lime and sprinkle with the tortilla chips.
