Chicken Fiesta Salad

Fajita seasoning makes this salad feisty. The chicken is rubbed with it before grilling, and the wonderful bean/corn/salsa mixture is cooked in a bit of it as well. Add lots of greens, onions and tomatoes, and you have an amazing salad.

This meal is delicious, simple and relatively healthy! I did make a few changes, though. I cooked the chicken with chopped onions and green peppers as well as a little bit of minced garlic. I also added the chicken to the corn/bean mixture as well as 1/2 tsp of chili powder and a tbl of lime juice. Finally, I topped the salad with tortilla strips, cheese with a dollop of sour cream on the wide. Wow! Sooo good!

I just had all the "parts" lying out and made it a sort of a build-your-own salad. It was so easy and delicious!

This was tasty, and easy to make. A nice variation on salad, for those summer days. I diced the chicken in fajita seasoning and fresh garlic, and sprinkled onion powder & a little salt & pepper. I put this in one bowl. I put the bean & corn & salsa mix in a separate bowl. And the salad went in its own bowl. This way, people could make their own salad the way they wanted. For the salad--- I added cilantro, a small avocado, used a small red onion (not white onion), and added diced green bell pepper... they were all welcome flavors to the salad. I also had plain lowfat yogurt and shredded sharp cheddar cheese available, to "top" the salad with. I feel the yogurt & cheese also added good flavor to the salad. I think next time, I may use a little less onion, and just use some frozen corn (I didn't think it needed a full can of corn). Overall, a very nice dish and I'm sure I'll make it again!

This was great - and super easy. We had it all together in about twenty minutes. Threw some cilantro in, like others, and thought it added to the recipe. Didn't use as much salsa as it called for, but by the time the chicken got mixed with everything else, I didn't think it made a difference.

I make this salad a lot (and love it!), except I don't add the salsa directly to the salad, I mix it with unsweetened non-fat yogurt for my dressing. It's a nice healthy salad - if you want to make it quickly, just use the already cooked fajita chicken strips that you can buy at the grocery store. I like to top mine with some shredded 2% sharp cheddar cheese too.

This isn't gourmet cuisine, but it's good family fare. I enjoyed it - nice taste, and fast. What more could we ask for?

OMG! This is DELICIOUS -- even for a salad! lol I made this EXACTLY per the recipe and it only took me 15minutes or so to fix! Light enough for a nice, hot-weather Summer lunch or al fresco dinner, but filling enough you won't go away hungry! Wow! I'm having left-overs for lunch today (store the corn/black bean relish seperately so that your salad greens don't get soggy). Top with a dollop of sour cream & sprig of fresh cilantro as a garnish. I'll be making this (with a glass of Sangria) for my "girls" night next month!

I make variations of this very often. The bean, corn, and salsa mix can be frozen if you're eating for one and a can of black beans and a can of corn is more than you can eat within a few days. I usually mash up some avocado with plain yogurt and add a hit of tabasco for a cool little healthy "dressing" or garnish. Yum!

I think this is a great, easy to make salad. Not only am I completely satisfied after eating one, I also feel like I've been eating healthier [I like to add lots of croutons, cheese, dressing, etc to my 'healthy' salads but with this nothing extra is needed!]

I liked the concept behind this but made some adjustment. I only did half the dry seasoning and then added some salsa. I think the salsa helped make the mixture more of a salad dressing

Great! Next time we're not putting over salad though, we're just putting the mix into tortillas.

This is outstanding. I added 1/2C sour cream to the bean/corn mix per another suggestion and it really made the dish. Me, hubby, and my 4 kids ages 15, 14, 11, 10 all LOVED it.

My husband loved this salad! I just left out the onion because he doesn't like it. I cut chicken into cubes and topped with shredded cheddar cheese. Will definately make again.

Excellent! Added a bit of jalapeno for spice and used my own fajita spice mix.

I agree, this salad was "feisty". Have been doing low cholesterol recipes recently and have found they all seen to lack flavor. This one did not lack. It was great! Made no real changes to the recipe. Highly recommended! Made it again Oct 09' and it made it to 5*!!! Only change was to add crumbled Doritos on top! What a GREAT salad!!!
