Combine 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, fresh lime juice, fresh cilantro, sea salt, and chili powder in a large bowl. Marinade ingredients for 30 minutes, or overnight.
To grill the chicken, heat a barbeque to medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until the chicken is fully cooked through. Set aside to cool, and then dice into bite-size pieces.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Add the corn to a rimmed baking sheet, and drizzle 1/2 tbsp olive oil on it, along with a pinch of sea salt. Stir and roast for 15-20 minutes.
To make the chipotle ranch dressing combine the dressing ingredients into a blender or a food processor and blend until smooth. Pour into a small bowl and aside until ready to use.
In individual bowls, add the romaine lettuce, tomatoes, black beans, diced chicken, roasted corn, sliced avocado, green onion, and cilantro. Add the creamy dressing and toss to combine.
The recipe is perfect to prep in advance! Turn the salad into mason jars salads to take on the go, or build each salad as needed to simplify your life!
