Cuban Chicken Salad

I saw this recipe on The Happy Housewife.  I altered her recipe a little to fit into my life.   This recipe is so easy and so good.  My kids will eat this everytime!  It is perfect for these hot days we have been having lately.

Cuban Chicken Salad

1 Head romaine lettuce
1 Can black beans
1 Can corn
1 Bunch green onions

Dressing:

2 Tablespoons lime juice
1/4 Cup cilantro
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

Put chicken in crockpot seasoned with your choice of spices.  I like mexican flavored spices to season the chicken for this recipe (cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, red chili flakes).  Cook chicken on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4 hours.  After chicken is done shred with a fork.  In a bowl combine the black beans, corn, and onions. Toss 2 T. of the dressing with black bean mixture.  On a bed of lettuce spoon the black bean mixture then top with chicken.

To make the dressing combine all the ingredients in a food processor or blender.   Top the salad with the dressing and serve.
