Chili Lime Fajita Salad

This fajita salad is absolutely delicious. We just loved the marinade/dressing that goes with this dish.
I made this dish when we were on a trip in the motorhome and for an appitizer I made a fresh and bright guacamole that I will share with you tomorrow.

INGREDIENTS

Marinade/Dressing

3 Tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
2 Tablespoons cilantro-chopped
2 garlic cloves-crushed
1 teaspoon brown sugar
3/4 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Pinch of salt

SALAD

4 boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts. I used thin cut breast.
1/2 yellow bell pepper-sliced
1/2 red bell pepper-sliced
1/2 onion-sliced
5 cups romaine lettuce-chopped
Avacado-sliced (optional)

DIRECTIONS

Whisk marinade ingredients together until combined. Pour 1/2 of the marinade into a small container to use as the dressing. Pour the second half into a ziplock bag and add your chicken. Let marinate in the fridge for an our or so. You can cook the chicken in a skillet but we grilled the chicken. Since I used thin sliced chicken breast the chicken grilled quickly.

In a bowl add your salad ingredients and top with sliced cooked chicken. Drizzle with the reserved dressing and serve.

Enjoy!
