Grilled Chili Lime Chicken Fajita Salad with a dressing that doubles as a marinade! A genius way of keeping ALL of the incredible flavours in this salad!
This Chili Lime Chicken Fajita Salad has so much flavour happening, you don’t know where to start. Creamy avocado slices, grilled red and yellow pepper strips (capsicum), or the succulent chicken thighs. Fajita territory went down in this kitchen. Yeah, it did…
Fajita Salad
The challenge over here was to make something Tex-Mex or with Mexican inspired flavours. I’m over Tacos, (I know, don’t get me started on the sin this sentence is committing right now), and I’m over winter food. Long story short, I wanted a salad. And if you’ve been following me for a while, you know by now that I don’t do rabbit salads, AKA starvation salads. I load them up with so much food there’s no chance of starving anything.
The Marinade
This marinade doubles as a dressing. Why? I didn’t want a dressing to come along and destroy the flavour the marinade had perfectly created in the chicken, so I made more of it, halved it, then saved half of the UNTOUCHED marinade to use later as a dressing!
Too many recipes call for one type of flavour combination to season the chicken, and another completely different flavoured dressing for drizzling. This way, we’re getting both done at the same time, while keeping the same beautiful flavour throughout this fajita salad! Red chili flakes + freshly squeezed lime juice + cilantro (sub it out if you don’t like it, but it is so good in this) + garlic + cumin = so many flavours that dance together and create a steamy love affair in your mouth!
Rest assured, the dressing DOES NOT touch the chicken at any time. How?
- Mix up your marinade/dressing ingredients in a 1 cup capacity jug (if you have one. A normal jug or mug is fine to use.)
- Pour out HALF into a shallow bowl or dish to marinate your chicken thighs.
- The other remaining UNTOUCHED half that is still in your jug is then refrigerated to use as a dressing once your salad is ready! I do feel the need to break this down as some people have been confused about this marinade/dressing description.
Marinate for however long you have. I’ve tried marinating for two hours, overnight, and when I didn’t have the time to soak anything, I mixed, dipped and grilled without marinating. It all works!
Bbq, Grill Pan or Skillet
Which brings me to my next point. Chargrilled chicken. You can use breast for this recipe, but thighs are so juicy and tender and 100% suit this salad. I use either a stove top grill pan for this OR a barbecue, depending on the season!
What if you don’t have a grill or grill pan? A non stick pan or skillet is fine to use also (see the video above the recipe card).
Dressing
Once your chicken is cooked through, allow it to rest for a good 5 minutes to lock in the juices before slicing into strips. Use this resting time to fry up your sliced onion and pepper strips. Then throw all of your ingredients together in a large bowl and drizzle with the reserved UNTOUCHED dressing.
We always use Romaine lettuce in this fajita salad, which is also known as Cos lettuce in Australia, but you can also use butter lettuce, ice berg lettuce or even Kale!
In less than 20 minutes, you have a loaded up salad, fresh and full of flavour. Just like this Honey Mustard Chicken, Avocado + Bacon Salad, or this popular Grilled Chimichurri Chicken Salad, this Grilled Chili Lime Chicken Fajita Salad is a meal in itself and packed with flavour!

Grilled Chili Lime Chicken Fajita Salad
ORIGINAL RECIPE BY KARINA, CAFEDELITES ©
Ingredients
Marinade/Dressing:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 100 ml (just over 1/3 cup) freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon red chili flakes, (or red pepper flakes -- adjust to your preference of spice)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground Cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
Salad:
- 4 chicken thigh fillets, skin removed (no bone)
- 1/2 yellow bell pepper, deseeded and sliced
- 1/2 red bell pepper, deseeded and sliced
- 1/2 an onion, sliced
- 5 cups Romaine, (or cos) lettuce leaves, washed and dried
- 2 avocados, sliced
- Extra cilantro leaves to garnish
- Sour cream, (optional) to serve
Instructions
- Whisk marinade ingredients together to combine. Pour half the marinade into a shallow dish to marinade the chicken fillets for two hours if time allows. Refrigerate the reserved untouched marinade to use as a dressing.
- Heat about one teaspoon of oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and grill chicken fillets on each side until golden, crispy and cooked through. (Grill in batches to prevent excess water being released.) Once chicken is cooked, set aside and allow to rest.
- Wipe pan over with paper towel; drizzle with another teaspoon of oil and fry pepper and onion strips until cooked to your liking.
- Slice chicken into strips and prepare salad with leaves, avocado slices, peppers, onion strips and chicken. Drizzle with remaining marinade/dressing and serve with (optional) extra cilantro leaves and sour cream.

This fajita recipe is super tasty, every time! I’ve been using this for about 5+ years now, always good. Although I never add the crush red peppers- can’t handle the spice. I also tried this with just mushrooms, peppers and onions, deeeee-lish 😁
healthy food says
I have already cooked two times at home! Delicious!! My hubby even asks me to cook more so he can bring it as lunch. 🙂 awesome recipe..
I’ll surely share your page on my XP Work Doku App.. 🙂
kolkata ff tips says
Ohhhhhh. This is the best dressing of all time. I can’t stop eating it! Thank you! once again
Joseph Red says
Made this a few weeks ago and i must say, it was the best grilled chili lime chicken fajita salad i had.. Thanks to you for such recipe…
Angela says
Just wanted to let you know I made this chicken last night, and it was incredibly delicious! Will definitely be making it more often. I used it for fajitas. So so tasty. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe.
Jacob says
I must say this is one of the perfectly balanced salads, and the presentation makes it looks fabulous. Thanks Karina 🙂
Husnain says
This really looks delicious and yummy 😀
Juana says
This salad is really yummy and delicious 😀
Kelli Culpepper says
Made this last night and it was FABULOUS!!! I did double the marinade/dressing recipe since I had 6 large thighs. I normally don’t like chicken fajitas, not enough flavor and dry. Well, problem solved. Super easy and very pretty. I think the thighs marinated for maybe 5 hours. Hubby cooked on the grill. Will make again and again.
Crazyfigure says
This grilled chicken fajita salad is really mouth watering.! i am happy that i find your blog and checkout the recipe . it’s made my day with mouth watering LOL. thanks for sharing this worderful recipe.
Luci McKinnon says
Fabulous! Great, bright flavors; easy to throw together especially if you have cilantro growing in your yard. I was surprised that both my finicky teens gobbled it up. Can see this becoming a regular at our house.
Beth says
What a great salad!! This has great flavor and was a big hit with our family and guests. I did add extra olive oil to make the dressing go further and it was perfect. Thank you for adding to my “go to” recipe file!!
Dave says
Great salad! Love the technique of using the same thing for the marinade and dressing. I changed a few things: I left out the coriander leaves (cilantro) because I don’t like it, and the brown sugar just to see how it was without. Will try it with next time for comparison. I also added quite a bit of chili powder and ancho chile, about a teaspoon and a half of each (added some to the marinade/dressing, and sprinkled more when cooking). I supplemented the dressing with some salsa. The salad was very satisfying, will definitely make again.
Melissa Salazar says
Not gonna lie, this is probably the best salad I have ever had. The dressing is AMAZING and light. Just made this 2 days ago and the boyfriend already wants more tonight. THANK YOU!
Penny Rice says
I absolutely love this recipe!! It is the best dressing in the world!!!! The flavors are so perfect together! Excellent!! Thanks for the recipe!!!
Penny Riceviola.ric says
OMG!! This is the best salad I have ever eaten!! My granddaughter loves it!! She begs for it! I will try your other recipes because I know they will be awesome!!
Jennifer says
This was fabulous, like all the other recipes I have made off your site. Rave reviews from guests every time I make one of your recipes! Thanks so much.
Traci says
I made this salad tonight and it was fantastic!! Very fulfilling, I’m not good at recipe following, I sautéed the peppers and onions in Greek dressing and did a variation of your dressing, all Delish!!
Amy says
I found your blog a couple weeks ago via Pinterest. I made this last week and it was so delicious that I made it again today. It is extremely good! The marinade/dressing was perfect. Thank you! I can’t wait to try more of your recipes.
Karina says
YAY!! I am so glad that you loved it and made it twice! Thank you so much!
Ariana Sullivan says
Wonderful salad ideas. Just love it, will try it soon in my dinner. Thanks for your helpful information.
Karina says
That is great to hear! Thank you so much for sharing! It is great to hear that you have found some great salad ideas!! XO
MrsA says
Hi Karina, I love your blog and recipes. However the recipe is not coming up for your amazing Grilled Chili Line Chicken Salad. Oh no. Sad face. I have a craving and can’t get the recipe. Help! Thanks!
Karina says
Hi, thank you for your comment! We had a frustrating technical issue that has just now been resolved and all recipes are showing once again. I’m so sorry for the inconvenience this has caused. If you need any further help, please email us and we will assist you in any way we can. Thank you for your patience! XOXO
Megan says
Would the ingredient proportions be the same if I want to make this dressing in bulk?
Karina says
Yes, you can double the recipe. It will be great to have on hand! Great idea! Thanks for following along with me!
Lenka says
Any time I make any of your recepes it feels like going to heaven,
Thanks so much Karina!!!!!!
Debi says
OMG THIS WAS THE BEST SALAD EVER!!
I made this as I’m following a Keto diet! It was so flavourful, I didn’t even mis the bread!
Marinated over night, so glad I made enough for two nights, may even try it with steak next time! Or Shrimp!
Jennifer Pepler says
WOW! This recipe is a keeper! So flavorful and easy to make. My husband, who isn’t much of a salad or veg eater really enjoyed this salad.
Although I followed recipe, I wonder why it calls for brown sugar? Anyone know the reason one would add sugar?
I made extra marinade and put chicken thighs in one Ziplock and keels in another and divided up my extra marinade between the 2 packages. Labeled and froze them to BBQ and have with rice or potatoes for a quick weeknight meal. Yummy!
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!
Aliza says
Hi,
The recipe looks amazing! I love reading all of these comments. Just a quick question. I’m on a keto diet. Can I substitute stevia for the brown sugar? Thanks.
Tymeron Smith says
Yes, of course! You are always welcome to substitute any ingredient that you like better or prefer. It may alter the taste or texture though. Let me know how it turns out!!
Kat says
H!
I’m so excited to make your salads for my work lunches. I do have quick question about the avocado – if I make this salad first thing in the morning and add the avocado, will it be okay a few hours later? Is there a way I can prepare the avocado so it doesn’t brown the few hours between making and eating?
Thanks!
Karina says
HI Kat. We normally drizzle them with a little lime or lemon juice to prevent browning if we need to, but I prefer to slice them up just before eating.
Jos says
I cooked up a batch of chicken and made the salad which was delicious but as there is just me had plenty leftover, it was great cold for lunch and tonight as there was still leftover chicken I added it to a vege stir fry (along with some bacon) and leftover dressing. Wow! I’ll definitely be making it again. (and may even use the marinade on steak).
Morgan says
I didn’t read through all the comments so excuse me if you have already answered this; will a foreman grill work for the chicken?
Karina says
Hi Morgan. Yes, absolutely! Any grill pan will work. I use a foreman also ?
r.a. says
I made this for dinner and we both loved it, we will be having this again. While I was cooking it one of my sons stopped by. As he watched me prepare this he told me he wants the recipe too so I printed him off a copy. Tonight we will be trying one of your low carb dishes.
Michelle says
Sooo good. Best chicken I have had in a while!!!
Becky says
We had this salad for dinner. Very good and so easy to make. Thank you for sharing!!! Look forward to making other recipes you post.
momofabj says
HI, I am wondering , I am marinating the chicken for the salad and do I place the chicken and marinade in the fridge or leave it out to marinade?
Carrie says
This marinade/dressing is SO GOOD. I used a little less lime juice (just under 1/3 cup) and found that the lime flavor was still plenty strong. It complemented the chicken perfectly. I also loved the way adding a little scoop of sour cream to the salad turned the dressing into a deliciously creamy one. This will become a regular meal in my house!
Karina says
Carrie your substitution sounds delicious!
Todd says
I found you and this recipe from The Creativity Exchange and glad I did. I’ve been on a salad kick lately, but need to liven it up. Definitely will be trying this salad!
Denise Whitcomb says
This recipe was great! First I made it for my son and his girlfriend. They loved it! Then I made it for my daughter who is so picky and she loved it too. I want to make it for my mother when she comes to town. So delicious. It goes great with some crunchy bread.
Barbara Solotoff says
Hi! Can’t wait to try this recipe! I was wondering whether you have nutritional values ..calories, fat,carbs, etc?
Ana says
Super tasty salad! It was enough for two servings and the flavors were wonderful. Thank you for the recipe!
Bill Buchanan says
Awesome! I made this for dinner tonight. I added a half a cup of corn and black beans. It was so good. It’s on the list to make again.
Kara says
Absolutely delicious! Thanks for a great recipe!!!
patti says
I really don’t know why I tried this, probably because I had all the ingredients. I have the worst luck with internet recipes and I am usually disappointed with the results. It is especially maddening if the dish is so bad I can’t eat it, then not only am I disappointed – I am hungry!
That certainly wasn’t the case with this recipe. This is undoubtedly the best internet recipe I have ever made and it is a keeper! I marinated the chicken overnight and baked it because I have no BBQ but all I can say is WOW!
Donna K Smith says
Another home-run! We have had this salad three times in the last two weeks and neither my husband nor I feel like we can get tired of it! This is very simple to make and tastes better than restaurant quality. By far my favorite salad! Thank you!
Cynthia says
This looks yummy. One problem: the description refers to “coriander,” but there isn’t mention of it in the recipe; instead, it calls for “cilantro.” Coriander is the cilantro seed; it’s very hard to get fresh. It’s not, however, the same as cilantro.
Dave says
It actually is the same. Coriander is the English word and cilantro is the Spanish. The leaves are often used in Mexican dishes, which have become popular in the US. Because of this, in many parts of the US, the leaves are now called cilantro. However, in the rest of the English-speaking world, the entire plant is called coriander. So particularly in recipes written outside of the US, you may see coriander leaves as an ingredient, and you should be aware that this is the same as cilantro.
Jennifer Pepler says
I have made this salad twice now. LOVE IT!! It is pretty simple and not too time consuming. The marinade is great to use just on chicken alone. I am going to try marinating several pieces of chicken and then freezing them so they are ready to BBQ. I think it should work great. Will see. Thanks for the great recipe!
Katherine says
This is a fantastic recipe. We had unexpected guests and I had pretty much all the ingredients on hand so this was perfect. I served it “deconstructed” so everyone (four adults and six kids) could take what they wanted. I also served some Mexican rice and warmed black beans on the side. Everyone loved it!
Tiffany says
How many calories do this meal have
Amber says
I grilled up the chicken along with the onions and peppers. My husband and I agree that this is one of the best salads we have ever had! I’m making it again this week. The dressing is SO good.
Cath says
Yum, yum, yum! My new favourite salad.
Jackie says
THIS SALAD IS AMAZING!!!!! I LOVE TO TRY DIFFERENT TYPES OF SALADS AND THIS SALAD IS NOW AN ALL TIME FAVORITE FOR ME. THE ONLY THING I DID DIFFERENT IS COOK THE CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES IN ALL THE MARINADE AND TURNED UP HEAT AT THE END TO GIVE IT THAT GRILLED/CHARRED APPEARANCE AND FLAVOR. SO SINCE I DID NOT HAVE AN EXTRA MARINADE ON RESERVE, I USED A RANCH BOLTHOUSE FARMS DRESSING (VERY HEALTHY) INSTEAD.. YUM!!!!!!
Donna K says
Just found your website/blog and this was the first recipe I tried. Both hubby & I proclaimed this “best salad ever tasted”! (and he is very limited on his culinary compliments! lol). I can’t wait to try more of your recipes. Thank you for sharing your gift!
Jesse Wise says
Great recipe! Do you happen to know the nutritional information for this recipe? Calories, Fat, Carbs, etc?
Thanks!
Gabrielle Kifer says
OMG!! I am so excited to make this tonight.. i already have my chkn marinating 🙂 Thank you for sharing.. peoples comments crack me up .. BE you Girl … Thanks for sharing
Jennifer Orender says
You mentioned coriander but I dint see it in the recipe? Did you mean cumin?
Karina says
Jennifer coriander is cilantro 🙂
Shelly says
will be going out in the rain/wind/snow to grill so it feels like summer inside with this tasty combo of seasonings and spices!
Robert M Thorniley says
This salad is in my top 3. It has so much flavor, yet it’s not in your face. It tastes so wonderfully light and healthy. Everyone who has tried it loves it. Outstanding!!
penny says
Can I use chicken breasts instead of chicken thigh fillets?
Karina says
Hi Penny. Yes.
Danielle says
Made this tonight…it was delicious! Thank you!
Karina says
Hi Danielle. You’re welcome! I’m so happy to hear that!
Mary Jane says
Is the chicken served over the salad while still warm or could it be made ahead of time and refrigerated. It looks wonderful and I am making it this weekend when I have friends over. One of them eats no carbs at all so I thought it would be great. I have made chicken breasts in a similar marinade so I know it will be wonderful.
Karina says
Hi Mary Jane. Yes I like to serve this salad with the warmed chicken, BUT you can refrigerate it ahead of time! Still delicious either way. I hope you all enjoy it!
Karen says
Made this tonight and it was fantastic.i expected it to e good it it far exceeded my expectations. We had it for dinner but it would make a nice luncheon entree as well. Thank you!
Ambily says
This is so delicious … Thanks a ton
Kyle J says
Karina,
I saw your recipe for the Mediterranean salad on facebook the other day, and it was FANTASTIC. I going to make this one ASAP!! I love your whole concept of making one sauce for the dressing and marinade. Just love it! Gonna make this one with my leftover lettuce!
mimi says
Just made it and it was a hit 🙂 I only substituted honey for brown sugar and added a little garlic powder and taco seasoning for the marination …. so yummy..
J says
Hey Karina!
Just tried ur recipe. I replaced the chicken with some tri tip steak and LOVED! Fam gave many compliments- a fam that wont look at anything that is salad related btw. Thank u so much
Lynn says
this has become my favorite chicken recipe…with or without the salad…..sometimes i marinate it overnight without oil and bake it the next day and other times I cook it over the stove…I absolutely love the flavor!!!!
Valérie says
Hi Karina,
This is exactly the salad recipe I was looking for !!!! A “not rabbit” one and full of flavour. This one looks simply perfect, I am gonna try it this week-end.
Thank you so much
Carmen says
Just cooked this and it taste great! I added a tablespoon of sour cream and the avocado to dress. Yum!
Joni says
This recipe is fantastic! My husband loves it as well! It works great in my meal planning for the week, too! I took the extra chicken, veggies, and romaine and put it in a wrap for lunch the next day. If you let the dressing separate and spoon off some the cilantro and garlic off the top, it adds so much flavor to the wrap! So yummy!
William says
Hey, i really like your marinade. I think it will go really well on some chicken wings cooked on a charocoal grill. (Im gonna give it a try later on this week) Thanks!
Diarra says
Karina, this was HANDS DOWN the best salad I ever made. So much flavour!!! I added some red onion with the peppers, just because. Though I’m sure it’d be as flavourful without.
I’ve just discovered your blog, it’s quickly becoming one of my faves. I’ll be trying a lot of your recipes in the upcoming weeks. Thank you !
Zara says
This salad looks so delicious! And I’m not a fan of salads (plain skinny salads). So is it better to marinade chicken overnight or few hrs?
Thank you
Michelle says
This was so good! I couldn’t believe how delicious this salad was, I’m not a fan of salads either. I will be making this often, especially during the spring and summer.
Valerie says
OMG, the chicken with the marinade looks delicious !!!
I can’t wait to taste this recipe, thanks for sharing it 🙂
Brooke says
I forget how I came upon this recipe, but I will often bookmark things that look tasty for future meals. I have already made this twice because my husband just raved about this salad and marinade (and what else we could use the marinade on! 🙂 He’s the foodie/cook in the house so it made me happy he was impressed! I just printed off a bunch of your recipes and can’t wait to try!
*I doubled the marinade/dressing and peppers/onions
Sara says
This looks amazing! I’m going to bake the chicken…suggestion for oven temp and how long?
Thea says
This looks absolutely amazing!! do you have any tips for subbing avocados? Im allergic, but I know they are pretty filling, so what else could I use instead that is just as healthy? .:-)
Karina says
Hi Thea. What do you normally substitute avocados with? Anything would work on this salad but I’m not sure what you like, what your tastes are, etc 😉
Mia says
Looks AMAZING and will be making this for lunch tomorrow as am having friends over. I eat a vegan-ish diet (I eat seafood), do you know if I can do the dressing with salmon? One guest doesn’t eat seafood – so trying to cater to all dietary needs and hence will do some chicken and some salmon.
Karina says
Yes! Mia I’ve been dying to try this with salmon. It would compliment it beautifully.
Courtney says
I made this last night and it was so good! I love the marinade so much that I mixed the leftover with a little bit of ranch dressing and made the most amazing salad dressing!
Karina says
Courtney that sounds incredible! Y.U.M!
Samantha says
This recipe was awesome! I absolutely LOVED the homemade dressing and we have eaten these twice. We don’t eat avocado so we subbed a few additional veggies and it was PERFECT. Thank you so much for sharing. I created a weekly menu plan and this was one of my meals that week and I have used it since as well…www.thesekidsmom.com I linked you and your recipe!
Karina says
Thank you Samantha! I’m so glad you liked it. And thank you so much for linking!
Anna says
wondering if you could use marinade to cook chicken breast in the slow cooker? thoughts?
Karina says
Hi Anna. I’m not sure as I haven’t tried it in the slow cooker.
Melinda says
Karina this looks absolutely yummy! I can’t wait to give it a try!
Ashlee says
I am really looking forward to making this I just wanted to know if you use both cilantro and coriander? Or do you use one or the other?
Karina says
Cilantro is what we call Coriander (in Australia) so either is fine depending on where you are from!
Natalie says
I have been so bored of cooking. So lacking in inspiration. This came up a couple of days ago on my facebook feed. It is the BEST thing I have made and eaten in ages. Thank you! You’ve pulled me out of my slump! Can’t wait to try some more of your recipes! X
Karina says

I am on a restricted sodium diet due to some heart issues and was excited when I saw this recipe. I prepared it last night, and let the chicken and vegetables soak in the marinade overnight. Cooked it up for dinner tonight and it was delicious! Hubs enjoyed it too. Thank you!
Karina says
That’s so wonderful Melanie! I’m so so happy to hear you tried it! You’re very welcome 🙂

Karina says
That’s wonderful to read thank you Nicole! I’m so happy you tried it!
Teresa says
Has anyone tried grilling or sauting the peppers for the salad before serving?
Karina says
Hi Teresa. They are grilled or pan fried already 🙂
Juju says

Karina says
You’re welcome Juju!

Do you know the calorie count on this, by chance? I don’t see it posted, but maybe I missed it?
Karina says
Hi Amber! No unfortunately I don’t! But I will be updating it soon. I use MyFitnessPal to calculate them if you need to go ahead and work it out? I hope that helps! 🙂
kerik says
Hi there,
This recipe looks crazy amazing! It seems that the recipe amounts for the dressing wouldn’t make very much though. Is the recipe enough to soak/marinate the chicken and still have enough for dressing? I am a dressing lover, so I would definitely want enough to go around. 🙂
Thanks so much,
Keri
Karina says
Thank you Kerik! I found 1/4 cup of dressing enough to marinade the chicken, saving around 1/4 cup to dress it afterwards. But, feel free to double the dressing if you like more! Nothing wrong with more dressing 😉
Vanessa Fernandez says
OMG,just made this amazing salad it has so much favor yum,yum,yum!??
