Best Salad Ever!

Okay so I combined a couple recipes together and came up with an idea for a wonderful Mexican salad.

You need:

1 tbsp olive oil
1 boneless chix breast
2 tbsp green onion chopped
2 tbsp red bell pepper
1/3 cup frozen corn kernels
1/4 cup black or pinto beans, rinsed & drained
2 tbsp fresh spinach
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/3 tsp salt
3/4 cup shredded monterey jack cheese or cotija cheese
1/4 cup pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
1 bag romaine lettuce

Cook chix in tbsp of oil about 5 min each side. Remove from skillet. Add onion & B.P. & saute for 3 min. Add corn, beans, spinach, & spices. Heat through. Plate romaine lettuce and add several scoops of skillet topping. Sprinkle cheese over top and sprinkle with pepitas. Put several dollops of cream on top of salad. Enjoy!

Dressing:
8 oz cream cheese (fat free or low fat)
2 tbsp sour cream
1 can tomatillo salsa (salsa verde)
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp garlic powder
1 bunch cilantro
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
2 tbsp water
2 tbsp olive oil

put all together in food processor and pulse until smooth.
