Hey Home Cooks! 👋If you’re looking for a southwest chicken salad recipe that’s fast, fresh, and full of flavor, this one is a favorite in my house—especially on busy nights or hot summer days!
Here’s exactly what I used to make it:
📝 Southwest Chicken Salad Ingredients:
- Romaine lettuce (chopped)
- Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- Cooked chicken breast, seasoned with Cajun spice
- Green onions (sliced)
- Corn (frozen, thawed, canned or roasted)
- Black beans (rinsed and drained)
- Shredded Colby Jack cheese
- Tortilla strips (for crunch!)
- Hidden Valley Chipotle Ranch dressing
- Optional: Avocado slices (I added them to mine but left them off my husband’s—he’s not a fan 😉)
✅ This southwest chicken salad is great for meal prep, a light dinner, or a quick lunch. You can make it your own by swapping in different dressings, adding jalapeños for extra heat, or using grilled chicken for a smoky twist!
