1 lb romaine lettuce hearts, chopped (about 2)
4 grilled boneless skinless chicken breast halves, chopped
8 ounces crumbled feta cheese, divided
2 ounces toasted pumpkin seeds, divided (pepitas)
8 ounces cherry tomatoes or 8 ounces other small tomatoes
1 cup julienned red onion
1 avocado, peeled, seeded and diced

1
In a large bowl, combine the romaine, chicken, one-half each of the feta and pumpkin seeds, the tomatoes, onions and avocado. Add 1/3 cup of the dressing and toss gently to combine. Taste salad, adding additional dressing as desired and seasoning to taste. Divide salad among 4 plates, topping each with remaining cheese and pumpkin seeds. Serve immediately.

Avocado Dressing: In the bowl of a blender, combine the lime juice, vinegar, garlic, cilantro, green onion, salt, cayenne pepper and avocado and blend.

With the blender running, slowly add the oils to form a thick, creamy dressing. Taste and adjust the flavorings and seasoning if desired. This makes a scant 2 cups avocado dressing, which will keep, covered and refrigerated, up to three days.
