Simple Southwestern Chicken Salad with Spicy Ranch

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.
