Southwest Lime Salad

My friend Cynthia brought this over when John was in the hospital and I couldn't believe how delicious it was. I substitute all sorts of things and it always tastes good.

Cook 1 c dried brown rice in water
Cool then stir in 1/2 c salsa

Sprinkle 1 chicken tender per person with:
dried oregano
chili powder
dried cilantro
garlic powder
I like to really coat one side with the spices then cook in a pan until done.
Chop into pieces.

Salad
Mix of lettuces and spinach
4 chopped tomatoes
1 can black beans
1 can other beans (kidney, chickpea, etc)
1 bunch cilantro chopped
1 red onion chopped
1 avocado chopped

Dressing
2 T rice vinegar
2 T flaxseed oil
2 limes juiced
1/4 c minced fresh cilantro
1 minced green onion spear
1 T canned green chilies
1/4 tsp Stevia
1 tsp salt

Toss salad with the chicken, rice mixture and drizzle dressing on. Serve in big bowls.
