Fajita Salad with a Cilantro and Lime Vinaigrette

 

 

Ingredients for the fajitas:

olive oil

chicken breasts or black beans- whichever you prefer

onions

bell peppers

fajita seasonings-salt, pepper, garlic, cumin, chili powder, paprika

1/2 lime

 

Heat oil in a pan and sauté the onion and peppers. Also the black beans at this point also. Season them to your own liking. Saute for 3-5 minutes, leaving them still crisp. Remove vegetables from pan, add a bit more oil and sauté chicken. Remove the chicken and cut into thin slices. Place the vegies and chicken back into the pan on low heat to combine flavors and keep warm. Squeeze with juice of half the lime just before serving.

 

Ingredients for the dressing:

1/2 jar of salsa

1 lime

1 tsp of apple cider vinegar

1-2 TBSP olive oil

1 tsp sweetener- honey, raw sugar, stevia

handful of fresh cilantro leaves

salt

pepper

garlic power

 

Add all of the ingredients into a blender and blend for just a few seconds. It's that easy! You can taste it and adjust flavor to your own tastes. If you're brave, add a jalapeno or some chipotle peppers to add some spice.

 

 

This would also be perfect over rice or in tortillas too! Any way you decide to eat it... you will love!
