Chopped Salad! Always a classic and an enjoyable eat! Made this because I was just feeling a salad today. You can easily make this on a bed of lettuce, or other greens, but I had mine mixed up with tortilla chips and pickled onions.
Try it out, super easy and cutting veggies is kinda fun right?
Chopped Salad
Ingredients
Salad
- 1/2 large red onion diced
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1 avocado diced
- 2 jalapeno diced
- 1/3 cup feta crumbled
- 1 large tomato diced
- 1/2 cup canned corn
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons Mexican Crema sour cream or mayo
- Juice form 1/2 lime
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Chicken
- 1 chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
Instructions
Chicken
- Season your chicken with all the spices and oil and bake in your preheated oven at 450 degrees for 20-35 minutes depending on the size of your chicken breast.
- When your chicken is ready, juices should run clear and it should read at least 170 degrees if using a thermometer.
- When the chicken cools slightly, chop into large cubes.
Make Dressing
- In a small bowl mix together all your dressing ingredients. Adjust any one ingredient to taste.
Salad
- In a large bowl add all the ingredients of your salad.
- Drizzle dressing over your salad, add your chicken into the salad and mix well.
- I served with nacho chips and a side of pickled onions but serve as you like. It is absolutely delicious on it's own, ad a side or as a topping to let's say a bed of greens.
