Recipe: Fajita Salad with Salsa Vinaigrette

This is a recipe from the Weight Watchers "Take Out Tonight" cookbook, under "Viva Mexico". Definitely doesn't taste like a "diet" salad. The dressing is absolutely delicious!!!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup prepared salsa
1/4 cup chopped red onion
2 T fresh cilantro, chopped
1 T fresh lime juice
1 T balsamic vinegar
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp. salt
4 (1/4 lb.) skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 T cajun seasoning
1 tsp. olive oil
4 C. mixed salad greens
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 tomato, chopped
1/2 avocado, peeled and chopped

1. To make vinaigrette, puree the salsa, onion, cilantro, lime juice, vinegar, mustard and salt in a food processor or blender. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
2. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with the cajun seasoning. Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl in the oil, then add the chicken and cook until lightly browned and just cooked through, about 4 minutes on each side. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes. Then slice into 1/2 inch thick strips.
3. Place the salad greens and bell peppers in a large bowl. Top with chicken strips, tomato and avocado. Serve with the salsa vinaigrette.
