Smoky Grilled Chicken Salad

This is another salad from my recipe box that is used frequently. I love making this salad when the weather warms up, and the chicken can be tossed on the grill.

This one is absolutely delicious and with low fat ingredients, very healthy.

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon Spanish paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
6 cups your favorite salad greens
1 cup thinly sliced red onions
1/2-1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
1 small can sliced ripe olives, well drained
1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and well drained
1 tomato, cut into wedges

Dressing
1/2 cup plain yogurt (or use sour cream)
1/2 cup mayo
1/3 cup skim milk
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced


In a small bowl, combine all ingredients for dressing with a whisk. Cover sauce, and refrigerate.

Combine first 6 ingredients from olive oil to black pepper in a medium bowl. Add chicken; toss to coat. Refrigerate and let marinate for at least four hours.

Preheat grill on medium heat. Grill chicken about 5 minutes per side or til cooked through. Remove from grill and set aside to cool.

Divide greens and next 5 ingredients (lettuce through tomato) among serving dishes; top with chicken. Serve drizzled with dressing.
