In a food processor, place garlic, chipotle pepper – deseeded, the juice of two lemons, and 2 tblsp. maple syrup. Process until smooth. Slowly drizzle in olive oil and then canola while the processor runs. This will create an emulsion, so the dressing won’t separate. Pan sear the chicken breasts in olive oil or bake in the oven for a healthier salad. For each serving place the spinach on a plate. Slice the breast on a bias and fan over the top of the spinach. Sprinkle 1/4 c. black beans and corn over each salad. Slice the avocado into thin slices and fan 1/4 of the avocado onto each salad. Sprinkle bacon (or turkey bacon for healthier version) over the top and drizzle with lemon chipotle vinaigrette to finish.
