SOUTHWESTERN CHICKEN SALAD

Category: Salads - Meat

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, poached
4 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 cup tomato, peeled, seeded and diced
1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup cilantro, finely chopped
1 tsp lime zest, grated
1 tsp olive oil
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp chili powder
1 cup red cabbage, finely shredded
1 cup green cabbage, finely shredded

Poach chicken breasts and refrigerate. Toss 2 tbsp lime juice in a large non-reactive bowl with the tomato, red onion, and cilantro.

In a small nonreactive container, whisk together the remaining lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, cumin, and chili powder. Add to the tomato mixture and toss gently. Shred chicken and fold in into the tomato mixture and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend.

When ready to serve, arrange alternating portions of shredded red and green cabbage on each chilled salad plate. Spoon the salad into the center. Serves 4
