I made this salad last night and it is sooooo yummy! A perfect summer dinner!

Layered Caribbean Chicken Salad

4 cups torn lettuce (any kind you want - I personally love a good mix with lots of fresh spinach included)

3 cups cubed cooked chicken (here is how I prep mine)

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed

1 1/2 cups grape tomatoes, halved if you like

2 mangoes, peeled and cubed

1/2 cup each corn, diced red onion, diced red bell pepper, and diced avacado

1 cup corn tortilla chips, crushed

Layer the above ingredients in whatever order you like and drizzle with the following dressing (or serve the dressing on the side):

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1/3 cup lime juice (fresh is best, if using fresh add the zest from it as well)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves

2 fresh garlic cloves

2 T. sugar or honey (I prefer honey)

3/4 t. salt

1/4 t. ground cinnamon

Cayene pepper to taste if you like a little spice!

Throw all the ingredients into your blender and blend until thoroughly blended. This dressing is so yummy! I think I could bottle it, sell it and make a fortune - it is that good! The fresh garlic, lime and cilantro with a little sweetness is such a fantastic combination!

Enjoy!
