Southwest Chicken Chopped Salad

  1. Found this on Life in the Lofthouse. A really yummy salad that is great for a summer dinner. Look out this makes a pile! I really really loved the dressing

  2. 3 cups cooked, diced chicken
  3. 1 green bell pepper, diced
  4. 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  5. 1 small can sweet yellow corn, drained
  6. 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
  7. 4 green onions, sliced
  8. 1/2 bunch of chopped cilantro
  9. 2 large Romaine hearts, washed and chopped
  10. 2 cups crushed tortilla chips

FOR THE TACO-RANCH DRESSING
  1. 1 cup mayonnaise
  2. 1 cup sour cream
  3. 2-3 Tablespoons Ranch seasoning
  4. 2 Tablespoons Taco seasoning
  5. 1 Tablespoon fresh Lime juice
  6. 2-3 Tablespoons milk
  1. Start by making the Taco-Ranch dressing. In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the dressing ingredients to thoroughly combine. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour to chill.
  2. To make the salad: In a large bowl, add the diced bell pepper, black beans, corn, tomatoes, green onion and cilantro. Stir to combine. Then add the cooked chicken pieces and the chopped romaine lettuce. Pour the prepared salad dressing all over the top. (You may not need all of the dressing. It depends on how much dressing you like) Gently stir to combine the salad, making sure to coat entirely with the dressing. Mix in the crushed tortilla chips last.
  3. Serve the salad in individual bowls, topping with more cilantro and limes to garnish, if desired.
