Happy Monday everyone! Today is On the Lighter Side here at The Slow Roasted Italian.
To we are featuring a Simple Southwestern Chicken Salad. I first had a Southwestern Chicken Salad made by my friend Mary. I have been on a bit of a flavor kick lately. I have really been enjoying Mexican, Greek and of course Italian flavors, so to incorporate that into a salad I opted for a Southwestern Chicken Salad. I simplified this salad, as I was having a casual relaxing day.
I hope you enjoy!!! It is sooooo Good!!!
This is a simple version, I really like it with green peppers and cucumbers on it too.
Simple Southwestern Chicken Salad with Spicy Ranch
4 ounces grilled boneless skinless chicken breast
2 cups romaine hearts, shredded
Corn Salsa
1 cup corn
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup black beans (cooked)
Dressing
1 cup light ranch dressing (I like Kraft)
2 tablespoons spicy barbecue sauce
In a small bowl, combine the corn, tomatoes and beans. Toss to combine. Set corn salsa aside.
On a large plate sprinkle romaine, the top with 1/4 of the corn salsa. Lay chicken on top, drizzle 2 tablespoons of the dressing over top.
Serve with tortilla strips.
