Grilled Chicken Chipotle Salad

I've started a 'get fit kick' and have tried eating more healthy lately. I came up with this recipe myself and my husband voted it as the best salad he's ever eaten!!

Grilled Chicken:
I used my George Foreman grill to cook up chunks of chicken (then I cut them into strips). As for the seasoning on the chicken I used: salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin, and chipotle pepper.

Salad:
romaine lettuce, cucumber, green pepper, yellow pepperoncini peppers, tomatoes, black beans, corn, avocado, onion, grated cheese, carrots, broccoli, olives, cilantro, chili-lime tortilla strips.

Dressing:
Fresh squeezed lime juice

With all the ingredients and flavors on the salad you really don't need a dressing. The lime, chipotle, and cilantro blend was absolutely delicious!

Four-Bean Salad

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup oil
2/3 cup vinegar
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
1 can garbanzo beans, drained
1 can green beans, drained
1 can yellow wax beans, drained
1 can red kidney beans, drained
1 red onion chopped
1 green pepper chopped

Combine sugar, salt, oil, vinegar and Italian Seasoning. Stir or shake until sugar is dissolved. (I boil the ingredients in a small pan on the stove until the sugar is dissolved.) Drain beans thoroughly and add onion and pepper. Pour dressing over beans and let marinate several hours it's better over night!
**E's hint---I also add black pepper to taste!
