The creamy dressing is so good that you'll want to make twice the amount. Keep it in the fridge to use as a vegetable dip.
 

Ingredients

4 tablespoon lime(s), juice   
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin   
2 tablespoon fresh coriander, chopped   
1 clove garlic, large, chopped   
3 portion spring onions, sliced   
350 g chicken breast, uncooked, skinless, four pieces   
350 g cooked black beans, drained and rinsed   
1 medium red green or yellow pepper(s), preferably red, chopped   
150 g cherry tomatoes, cut in half   
1 portion lettuce, cos, sliced in 1cm pieces   
100 g fresh red chilli(s), pref. green, finely chopped   
1 small pot very low-fat plain yogurt   
1 tablespoon ground coriander   
1 bunch watercress, tough stems removed   
1 tablespoon lemon juice, fresh   
1 clove garlic   

Instructions

  • Combine lime juice, cumin, chopped coriander and chopped garlic in a large resealable plastic bag. Add chicken, seal bag and shake to coat chicken. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature or up to overnight in refrigerator.

  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from bag and discard marinade. Grill chicken until cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes per side; set aside until ready to assemble salad.

  • Combine beans, red pepper, spring onions and tomatoes in medium bowl. Divide lettuce among 4 bowls or plates and top each with 1/4 of bean mixture.

  • To make dressing, combine remaining ingredients in blender or food processor; blend until smooth, about 3 to 4 minutes.

  • Slice cooled chicken on diagonal and divide among salads. Drizzle each serving with 1/4 of dressing.
