Print Recipe

A colorful medley of fresh ingredients, grilled chicken, and a zesty dressing that celebrates bold flavors and vibrant textures.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 grilled chicken breasts, sliced
  • 4 cups mixed greens
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or canned)
  • 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season your chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and juice from one lime. Grill the chicken over medium-high heat for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked. Let it rest before slicing.
  2. Slice and dice your veggies while the chicken grills. Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the red bell pepper, and thinly slice the red onion. Chop the cilantro too!
  3. Cook the corn on the grill or skillet until slightly charred if using fresh corn. Rinse canned corn and black beans.
  4. Add mixed greens as the base in a large bowl. Top with grilled chicken, cherry tomatoes, corn, black beans, bell peppers, avocado, and red onion.
  5. Whisk together lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, then drizzle over the salad right before serving.
  6. Toss gently to coat everything with the dressing. Top with cilantro and serve.

Notes

You can add tortilla chips for crunch or feta cheese for a creamy touch. Adjust seasoning according to your taste.
