Directions

  1. Make dressing first by combining all ingredients in a blender. Set aside.

  2. Grill chicken, fish or shrimp of your choice on the stovetop or BBQ over high heat, flipping only when you get a good sear on the first side. Slice or keep whole to serve.

  3. Add cabbage, pinto beans, corn, peppers and avocado to a large bowl. Toss salad with dressing. Add grilled chicken, fish or shrimp over the top and sprinkle with extra cilantro to garnish.
