It would make an excellent picnic salad because you can make it a day ahead; the extra time just gives the flavors more time to marinate the beans.

The salad is healthy and I am excited it uses romaine instead of iceberg lettuce. We sometimes make this with spinach also.

Chicken Jerk Salad consists of mixed greens topped with mozzarella cheese, avocado, grilled green and red peppers, grilled chicken breast and marinated with a slightly spicy jerk sauce. This brightly colored salad is full of a robust flavor bringing out the jerk flavor only after teasing your palate with the avocado and peppers.

      Thank you Ann for the pin! Our veggies are way behind due to all the wet weather. But my tomatoes were brought indoors and they are doing great. Hope your garden provides you a summer worth of food.

      Thank you Karren. You are right. A nice crunchy cucumber from the garden is better than chocolate. (Wait. Did I say that?) have an awesome week.

    This looks so yummy. I wish I could eat onions. But I cannot. But for those that can…this is a great recipe. I can make it for hubs though. He doesn’t have an ulcer. 🙂 TFS

      Thank you Clearissa for the kind review. Isn’t it sad that as we age some of the things we love the most we can no longer do? My favorite foods are now off limits. I won’t even try to name them. But onions are one of them. I lover liver and can remember those days when using a stick of butter as I sautéed an entire Valdalia onion wasn’t known to be bad. I could eat the entire pan! Those were the good old days. LOL. Enjoy your 4th!
