Southwest Chicken Salad

Becky and Parker were eating this at the Davis family party.   It looked really good.  It is similar to Black Bean Salsa but has chicken in it so it is a main dish.   They were eating it in pita bread.


4 cups cooked cubed chicken (I like to saute my chicken on the stove in some olive oil)
2 cups frozen corn (I just use one can)
1 cup chopped red peppers
1 cup chopped red or sweet onion
1 cup minced fresh cilantro
1 avacado (or more, if you're a lover like I am)
1 can black beans

Dressing:
3 Tbsp. lime juice
3 Tbsp. olive oil
4 tsp. honey
2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. coarsley ground pepper


In large bowl, combine salad ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk the dressing ingredients; pour over chicken mixture and toss to coat. Refrigerate before serving. Can serve as a salad with/without salad greens or in a pita or in a tortilla wrap.
