Mexican Chicken Salad With On The Border Copy Cat Dressing

Mexican Chicken Salad With On The Border Copy Cat Dressing-
I bought some big chicken breasts and planned on roasting for a salad. I wasn't sure what to do then I found the On The Border Jalapeno Vinaigrette Copycat Recipe!!! Since our two local restaurants both closed I have missed it! I always LOVED their dressing! I made the dressing, smoky and spicy. Very close to the original. I doubled the recipe for extra. I used torn up romaine as a base, added black beans, corn, cukes, red onion, and jicama sticks. I loved it, again! Inexpensive and stores well in the fridge. Very tasty and have some leftover!
