Chicken and Black Bean Salad

Oh Man!!! I hit the jack pot!!! I was trying to find something yummy for dinner that Joel could take to work for lunch and eat cold. I found this recipe online and it sounded so yummy, and I had everything on hand, so I thought I would try it. I made some changes and wanted to share those, but check out the original recipe, too!

I wanted leftovers for a couple days, so I made a big batch (just a warning!).
5 chicken breast baked and diced
2 celery stalks chopped
1 red bell pepper chopped (no seeds)
2 broccoli crowns (I use my kitchen sheers to get super small pieces)
2 cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 can rotels with lime juice and cilantro

Mix together and top with dressing:
2 avocados put in food processor (no seeds or skin... just saying!)
4-5 slices jalepeno (optional)
about 1/3 cup milk, just to get a yogurty texture

Pour (or plop) mixture over salad and mix until all coated.
Serve immediately, or refridgerate.

The entire bowl is 2717 calories. I estimate about 8 1.5cup servings, so that would make it 339.6 calories a serving. Not too bad! The 1 c serving would be right below 300 calories!

I will be getting out some smaller tupperware and sectioning off about 1 cup servings for lunches, after we enjoy this for dinner tonight.

We are on our 7 day clean eating challenge and this sure fits right in! Yum!!!
