Dressing
Salad
Make your dressing: add all dressing ingredients to a blender or use an immersion blender and blend until completely smooth. It should be smoky, salty and very tangy: adjust heat with more chipotle, sweetness with more honey, or acid with more vinegar. Set aside.
Build your salad: drain and rinse your black beans, prepare your corn (I used frozen so just let it thaw), shred your chicken, dice red bell pepper, finely chop pickled red onion.
In a large bowl combine all the ingredients you just prepped, along with ½ cup crumbled feta and a large handful of cilantro. Add half your dressing and toss to coat. Add as much more dressing as you want (I save about ¼ of it to freshen up leftovers) - you want it creamy and well dressed but not swimming.
Serve straight from the bowl and finish with more feta and cilantro. Serve with a big pile of corn or tortilla chips on the side.
