Cuban Grilled Chicken Salad

I came up with this recipe to use leftover chicken in a way that combines all of the delicious Cuban flavors I grew up with.

INGRIDIENT

3 cups chopped romaine lettuce

1 small red onion, diced

1 (6 ounce) avocado, diced

½ cup red or yellow bell pepper, diced

¾ cup canned black beans, drained

¾ cup diced fresh or canned pineapple

2 cups cooked chicken meat, chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons minced garlic

salt and pepper to taste

4 teaspoons fresh lime juice

DIRECTION

Step: 1

Toss the romaine with the onion, avocado, and peppers in a large bowl. Divide among four salad plates. Top each salad with a mound of black beans, some pineapple chunks, and the chopped chicken meat.

Step: 2

Whisk together the olive oil with the garlic, salt, and pepper. Drizzle this dressing over each salad along with a little lime juice.
