Instructions: 
Mix in blender all ingredients for dressing except the grapeseed oil.  With the blender on low, add the oil very slowly, over 30-60 seconds.  If you like heavy dressing, you will use it all, if not, you can save the rest in your frig.  Combine all the salad ingredients except for the chicken thighs, cilantro and almond slices. Pour desired amount of dressing and coat salad.  Serve onto plates and then garnish with the cilantro and almonds and place cut chicken on top. Enjoy!
