Taste The Islands Jerk Chicken Salad

Take your taste buds on a caribbean holiday with this salad that is bursting with flavour! The chicken can be made ahead so that this salad comes together in a flash for a light dinner. My personal preference is walkerswood jerk rub but if you can't access it, recipe #204926 is also quite good.

Steps

The chicken can be done the day before.
Rub legs and thighs with butter and jerk seasonings.
Marinate for 1 / 2 hr or overnight.
Grill or roast in 375f oven for 45 mins to an hour or until chicken is no longer pink when pierced with a fork.
Baste chicken with butter throughout cooking process.
In a screw top jar , combine 1 / 4 cup oil , lime juice , culantro (or sub cilantro , vinegar , 1 / 4 teaspoon salt and dash black pepper.
Cover and shake well to make the dressing.
Arrange on lettuce on 4 salad plates.
Top with chicken , tomatoes , and avocado.
Drizzle with dressing.
