Light but satisfying, this dinner salad is packed with bold spices and sauces. At the base is romaine lettuce tossed in a creamy ají verde sauce (featuring flavors like cilantro, lemon, and garlic). Over top is a savory blackened chicken cutlet and garlicky sautéed corn and red onion seasoned with a chili, cumin and paprika blend. The salad is finished with a drizzle of ají verde, a dash of Cholula, and garnishes of fresh tomato and crunchy toasted pepitas. Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
