This healthy salad was adapted from one I ate at California Pizza Kitchen. The lime juice intensified by the jicama draws out the flavor of the vegetables, so an oil- or cream-based dressing is not necessary.

Ingredients

  • 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped

  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained

  • 1 (15 ounce) can sweet corn, drained

  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped

  • 1 cup peeled, shredded jicama

  • 1 cup shredded carrots

  • 4 scallions, thinly sliced

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

  • 3 limes, divided

  • 1 (6 ounce) package cooked chicken breast strips (such as Foster Farms®)

  • 2 tablespoons barbeque sauce

  • 1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and cubed

Directions

  1. Mix lettuce, black beans, corn, red bell pepper, jicama, carrots, scallions, basil, and cilantro together in a large bowl. Juice 2 limes and drizzle juice over salad; toss lightly.

  2. Combine chicken and barbeque sauce in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave until chicken is warmed through, about 45 seconds.

  3. Arrange chicken and avocado on top of the salad and squeeze remaining lime over salad.

Cook's Note:

I prefer the southwestern flavor for the chicken strips.

Drizzle extra BBQ sauce on top of salad if desired.
