Chicken and Vegetables with Lime Vinaigrette

This is a very easy,  filling, and refreshing salad all in one. The lime dressing gives it a wonderful "kick"! I'll take a picture and post it the next time I make it.

Dressing:
1/3 cup lime juice
1/3 cup olive oil
1 tsp. sugar or 1 tsp. of honey
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper
Salt and pepper to taste
(I put a little garlic salt in but the original recipe doesn't call for it.)

Salad ingredients:
4 chicken breast halves, seasoned
1 15-16 oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained OR black beans soaked over night and cooked
10 oz. frozen whole kernel corn, thawed
2 cups lightly packed cilantro, chopped
2 cups grape or cherry tomatoes, chopped
1 avocado, halved, pitted, and chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
6 green onions, thinly sliced

Prepare dressing and set aside.
Bake or Barbecue chicken. Slice
Line up all other ingredients and chicken in serving dish and serve with dressing on side.
Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top.
