As someone who isn’t particularly drawn to salads, Smitten Kitchen always manages to create one that is immediately added to the regular rotation. Her latest gem is this Grilled Chicken Salad with Cilantro-Lime Dressing!
Juicy, chili-rubbed chicken thighs are grilled until smoky and tender, then sliced thin and tossed with charred corn, creamy avocado, and a pile of leafy greens. The real treat is the salty crunch of Fritos – which I can confirm are absolutely not optional. A spicy cilantro-lime dressing is the perfect finishing touch!
And don’t worry if you’re grill-less, the chicken and corn can be cooked in a pan on the stove – I used a grill pan to get the nice lines.
Such an easy and satisfying salad!
