Chicken Black Bean Taco Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Vinaigrette
    1/4 cup diced tomatoes
    1/4 cup chopped cilantro
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 tablespoon cider vinegar
    1 teaspoon lime zest
    1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
    1 garlic clove (minced)
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
    1/4 teaspoon cumin
    1/4 teaspoon chili powder
    Salad
    8 cups lettuce
    2 chicken breasts (cooked)
    1 cup diced tomatoes
    1 (15 ounce) can black beans (I like the the jalepeno black beans or the cumin ones by Kunars)
    1 cup shredded cheese
    optional
    red onion, green pepper, avocado, black olives, etc
Preparation
    Combine vinaigrette ingredients in a bowl & mix well (or you can toss them all in a food processor & blend.).
    Layer salad ingredients, & top with vinaigrette.
    Enjoy!
    (To make lighter, you can reduce oil to 1 T, and skip the cheese!).
