Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 For vinaigrette, place cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, honey, garlic, cumin, and cayenne in the bowl of a blender or mini food processor and pulse several times until well blended. For a creamy dressing, include the optional Mexican crema. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  2. 2 For salad, line a serving plate with mixed salad greens. Arrange chicken, pinto beans, corn, yellow bell pepper, red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, cotija, avocado, and red onion in a pleasing design on top of greens.
  3. 3 Drizzle with vinaigrette (alternatively, place all ingredients in a large salad bowl and toss with vinaigrette). Garnish with pumpkin seeds and jalapeño slices.
