Piggies & Pizza!

We went to the Del Mar Fair today (post on that later)...or San Diego County Fair, excuse me! 

A first--Riley didn't have a bow to match with her horsey shirt! Can you imagine the panic? So, I finally used those teeny tiny plastic ponytail holders on her super fine and straight hair to create her very first Piggy Tails! Fitting since we watched the pig races first at the fair. 

Once we were home from a long and fun day, Riley made a pepperoni pizza while I made a chipotle chicken salad Sierra and I love...and you might, too!

Chipotle Chicken Taco Salad

Dressing:

• 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 2/3 cup light sour cream
• 1 tablespoon minced chipotle chile, canned in adobo sauce
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 4 teaspoons fresh lime juice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Salad:

• 4 cups shredded romaine lettuce
• 2 cups chopped roasted skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 2 breasts)
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 cup diced peeled avocado
• 1/3 cup thinly vertically sliced red onion
• 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 (8 3/4-ounce) can no-salt-added whole-kernel corn, rinsed and drained

To prepare dressing, combine first 7 ingredients, stirring well.

To prepare salad, combine lettuce and remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Drizzle dressing over salad; toss gently to coat. Serve immediately.

Tip: Add a spoonful of adobo sauce for a spicier salad. Kidney or pinto beans also taste great in this dish.
