Recipe Wednesday - Southwest Chicken Salad

 Recipe Wednesday- Southwest Chicken Salad

This Southwest Chicken Salad is fresh, flavorful, and packed with protein—perfect for a light yet filling meal.

Save this one for your next healthy lunch or dinner!

Southwest chicken salad

Ingredients:

For the salad:

2 grilled chicken breasts, sliced

1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 avocado, diced

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced (I used white / don't like red)

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

4 cups mixed greens (spinach, arugula, romaine, or your choice) ( I used iceberg)

For the cilantro-lime dressing: I added at least 2 TBLS of Honey - it was bitter to me at first. And it does taste better once it is chilled.

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tbsp lime juice

1 tbsp honey -

1/2 tsp ground cumin

1 garlic clove, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Grill chicken breasts until fully cooked, about 6–7 minutes per side. Let rest for a few minutes, then slice thinly.

In a large bowl, toss together the mixed greens, black beans, corn, avocado, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and cilantro.

For the dressing: whisk together olive oil, lime juice, honey, cumin, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth.

Drizzle dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Top with the sliced grilled chicken.

Serve immediately and enjoy!

Thank You Card

 I have a big order for Thank You Cards for a Bass Club.  I do have some fishing DSP from last year thru Stampin' Up but not enough to do all these cards.  So, I hopped on Amazon and purchased Fishing Scrapbook Paper.  I'm so in love with how these are turning out.  And they aren't hard at all.  Just a basic card and by adding linen thread, embellishments and by daubering around the edges, it has made a plain card into a pretty fantastic looking card.

FUN FOLD - POCKET FOLD - BLOOM IMPRESSION DSP

 I struggle sometimes putting colors together.  Even though the DSP says they belong together, I will question it in my mind.  I questioned these colors, but I really do like them together.  This is a great fun fold card.  Hope you enjoy it!!!

Bloom Impressions DSP - I# 164944

Cut 5 x 3 3/4

Lay the DSP on the Cardstock - measure down 2 inches on the 5 inch side and put a pencil mark on both the DSP and Cardstock - Put the Cardstock into the trimmer with the 2 inch mark on the trimmer edge and the left corner of the cardstock on the trimmer edge as well DO NOT CUT - run the SCORING BLADE - you should get a diagonal fold.  Do the same with the DSP but run the blade so you end up with 2 pieces. Adhere the DSP to the front of the Cardstock.

I used Tear & Tape to adhere the diagonal fold down. You can leave as a flap if you like it that way.  Adhere the pocket to the Melon Mambo using Tear & Tape on the bottom and two sides.
