Description

The most delicious salad I’ve had in a long time. Perfect for a ladies lunch! It’s my version of the Red Robin Mesa Chicken Salad.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE SALAD ASSEMBLY:
  • 1 bag Mixed Salad Greens (10-12 Ounce Bag)
  • 4 whole Bonless, Skinless Chicken Breasts, Thawed
  • 2 Tablespoons Fajita Seasoning
  • 1 can (15 Oz. Size) Black Beans
  • 2 cans (15 Oz. Size) Corn
  • 1 whole Sweet Onion, Diced
  • 3 whole Bell Peppers (red, Yellow, Green), Diced
  • 1 bag Tostitos Hint Of Lime Chips
  • 1 whole Lime
  • 1 bag Grated Tex Mex Cheese
  • _____
  • FOR THE SALAD DRESSING:
  • 2 cups Sour Cream
  • ½ cups Thick & Chunky Medium Salsa
  • ¼ cups Milk
  • 1 package Ranch Salad Dressing Mix (1 Ounce Envelope)

Preparation

Cook the chicken:

Completely thaw boneless skinless chicken breasts. Thoroughly dry the pieces with paper towels, then toss into a Ziploc bag with a couple Tablespoons of the fajita seasoning. Close the bag and squish the chicken like crazy to distribute the seasoning. Leave for 10 minutes or longer, then sear in a hot skillet with a bit of canola oil. Sear it on both sides, then cover with a lid and cook on low until thoroughly cooked. Let rest on the cutting board for 10 minutes and then slice into ¼” strips.

Prepare the rest of the ingredients. Mix the salad dressing using the last 4 ingredients. Combine everything in a large salad bowl other than the cheese, lime and chips. Slice the lime and put on top of salad as a garnish. People can add the cheese onto their own plate of salad and also crumble chips on top.
