Springtime Salad: Layererd Caribbean Chicken Salad

April 13, 2010 - Just a girl at the beach!
What a beautiful dish to bring to a barbeque or shower or to serve to friends! This is a must try as the weather heats up. If you pick up a rotisserie chicken it is a truly no cook meal.  Grilled shrimp would make a wonderful change.  You could also substitue half or all of the mango with pineapple.


FOR THE DRESSING:
2 containers (6 Oz. Each) 99% Fat Free Piña Colada Yogurt
3 Tablespoons (up To 4 Tablespoons) Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice
1 teaspoon Caribbean Jerk Seasoning
_____
FOR THE SALAD:
3 cups Shredded Romaine Lettuce
2 cups Cubed Cooked Chicken
8 ounces, weight (2 Cups) Shredded Reduced-fat Colby-Jack Cheese, Divided
1 can (15 Oz. Can) Black Beans, Rinsed And Drained
1-½ cup Diced Peeled Ripe Fresh Mango
½ cups Chopped Seeded Tomatoes
½ cups Thinly Sliced Green Onions
½ cups Cashews
 

In small bowl, mix all dressing ingredients until well blended. Cover and refrigerate while making the salad. In a 3-4 quart clear glass serving bowl, layer salad ingredients in the following order: shredded lettuce. chicken, 1 cup shredded cheese, black beans, mango, tomatoes, remaining 1 cup shredded cheese and green onions. Spoon half of the dressing evenly over the salad; sprinkle cashews over the top. Serve the remaining dressing on the side. Makes 4-6 servings.

Enjoy!
