MEXICAN COBB SALAD WITH CHIPOTLE-HERB DRESSING
Steps:
- 1. For dressing, in a small bowl whisk together oil, cilantro, marjoram, lime juice, vinegar, chipotle peppers, and salt. Set aside. 2. Arrange lettuce on a very large platter. In a large bowl combine chicken, onion, and 1/4 cup dressing. Toss to coat. Arrange chicken mixture, black beans, avocado, tomatoes, and corn in rows atop lettuce on platter. Sprinkle with chives; drizzle the remaining dressing. Serve with lime wedges. Makes 8 servings. *HANDLING HOT CHILE PEPPERS: Because hot chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes, avoid direct contact with chiles as much as possible. When working with chile peppers, wear plastic or rubber gloves. If your bare hands do touch the chile peppers, wash your hands and fingernails well with soap and water when you are done. **TIP: For quick cooked chicken, purchase a deli-roasted chicken. Remove the meat and shred enough chicken to make 4 cups. ***TO COOK CORN: For fresh corn, remove the husks and silks from 2 fresh ears of corn. Rinse. Cook, covered, in enough boiling lightly salted water to cover for 5 to 7 minutes or until kernels are tender. Submerse in ice water to cool quickly; drain well. Carefully cut corn off the cobs. For frozen corn, cook 1 cup corn according to package directions. MAKE AHEAD: Prepare salad as directed, except toss avocado gently with 1 tablespoon lime juice to prevent browning; do not drizzle with dressing. Cover and chill salad and dressing for up to 4 hours. Serve salad as directed. Per serving: 323 cal., 17 g total fat (2 g sat. fat), 62 mg chol., 701 mg sodium, 20 g carbo., 6 g dietary fiber, 25 g protein.
