Black & Gold Salad - #IslandVibes




πŸ₯—One of Top Favorite Dinner Salads! Gives me an Island Vibe...c'mon Summer!☀️
My hubs like to call it Black & Gold Salad, maybe because he used to be a Wake Forest Fan, maybe because of the color combo, either way, it works! πŸ˜‰
🍍The sweet, spicy & salty flavors all playing together make this one SO yummy! Plus, it's packed with all kinds of goodness! We always grill up a bunch of chicken on Sundays, making this super easy to throw together and easy to prep ahead!
What you need...yield 2 adult salads
4-6oz. grilled chicken (marinade recipe in the comments)
greens of your choice (we used 1/2 super greens & half hearts of romaine)
3/4 cup diced fresh pineapple
1/2 cup black beans, rinsed & drained
3/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup feta cheese
1/4 cup diced onion
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
🌢Divide evenly in half and Assemble!
πŸ₯„For the dressing, I like 2 different variations for this!
🌢Chipotle Ranch - I use Drew's Chipotle Ranch and cut it 1:1 with Bragg's Cider Vinegar
OR
πŸ‹Cilantro Lime Dressing...
the zest/juice of 1 lime
1 tbsp. Bragg's Cider Vinegar
1 tbsp. avocado oil
handful fresh cilantro, chopped
a few dashes of black pepper
1/2 tsp sriracha sauce or your favorite clean hot sauce 
Whisk or shake up in a jar!
