Ingredients
  

Salad
  • ¼ rotisserie chicken or 2 chicken breasts shredded or diced
  • 4 oz lettuce or mixed greens
  • 15 oz can Great Northern beans drained and rinsed
  • 15 oz can fire-roasted corn drained
  • 1 tomato diced
  • 1 peach diced
  • ½ red onion diced
  • 1 jalapeño diced (fresh or jarred)
  • 3 tbsp cilantro chopped
  • 3 tbsp parsley chopped
Lemon Vinaigrette
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tbsp champagne vinegar
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper

Method
 

  1. If using fresh chicken, cook the chicken breasts until fully cooked and shred or dice. Rotisserie or leftover chicken works great for this recipe.
  2. Wash and prep all produce while the chicken cooks.
  3. The beans and fire-roasted corn can be added cold or lightly warmed on the stovetop or in the microwave if preferred.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, chicken, beans, corn, tomato, peach, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and parsley.
  5. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, champagne vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  6. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss until evenly coated.
  7. Divide into bowls and serve immediately. Add an extra pinch of salt, pepper, or fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

This salad is a great way to use leftover rotisserie chicken or meal-prepped chicken throughout the week.
For a vegetarian version, simply leave out the chicken - the beans make it hearty and satisfying on their own.
Store the dressing separately if meal prepping ahead of time.
