Dressing - Put all the dressing ingredients except the cilantro, in a jar just large enough to fit the head of an immersion blender. Blitz until smooth, then add the cilantro and blitz until it's finely chopped.

Keep the dressing in the fridge until required.

Chicken - Cook the chicken and rest as per the Texas Cowboy Chicken recipe. Cut into ½ inch thick slices.

Assemble - Either assemble the salad in individual bowls or one big bowl for shar-ing, as pictured. Place the lettuce in the bowl and sprinkle with the red onion. Top with the chicken, black beans, corn, tomato, and avocado, then sprinkle everything with cilantro leaves. Serve with the dressing on the side so people can help themselves. Just pour the dressing over the salad, then dig in — it's not the tossing sort!
