Green Bean, Chicken, and Coconut Salad

This was really good. It was simple and easy to make and both my husband and I enjoyed. I will definitely be making this again. I think it would be a great light salad dish to bring to a party.



Ingredients
1 lb Green beans trimmed, cleaned and cooked
1 lb Chicken breast cooked and shredded
1/4 Cup of toasted coconut
Jerk Dressing:
2 Jalapenos
Juice of 3 limes
1 Tsp of crushed garlic
1 Tsp of Thyme
1/2  Tbsp of honey
3 Tbsp of olive oil
Directions
1. To toast the coconut, spread coconut on a piece of tin foil and toast in a toaster oven for about a 1 minute
2. For the green beans, bring a pot of water to boil and add the green beans. Cook until they are tender
3. Cook the chicken if needed on the stove and once cooked, shred. I used already cooked shredded chicken
4. Combine the chicken, toasted coconut, and green beans in a bowl
5. Put all of the dressing ingredients in a food processor and blend together to make the jerk dressing
6. Mix the salad with the dressing
