This Zesty Chipotle Chicken Salad combines bold flavors with a creamy dressing for a delightful meal.
Mash the fresh garlic cloves into a paste using the side of a chef's knife.
Adding a pinch of salt while mashing the garlic helps create a smoother paste.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the garlic paste, chipotle pepper, mayonnaise, buttermilk, cilantro, scallion, apple cider vinegar, and freshly ground pepper until smooth.
Adjust the consistency of the dressing by adding a little more buttermilk if needed.
Cut the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Ensure the chicken is evenly cut for consistent bites.
In a large bowl, combine the salad greens, chopped tomatoes, diced avocado, jicama, shredded cheddar cheese, and chicken.
Toss the salad gently to avoid mashing the avocado.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
Serve the dressing on the side for a lighter option.
Garnish the salad with lime wedges and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese before serving.
Squeeze a lime wedge over the salad for an extra burst of freshness.
