Southwest Chicken Salad I

This is a highly seasoned salad that is a nice change from the typical 'taco' version. Even my kids and their friends love it!

Very good salad. I made a few changes. Added cabbage instead of lettuce. Mixed in with the rest of the salad. Also added 2 ears of corn on the cob, and 2-3 avacadoes chopped. Used double to triple amount of garlic. I love garlic.

Delicious!!! Will definately be making this again. It's a very light and refreshing salad. I didn't have any cilantro so that's the only thing I left out. I also added a little garlic salt to the dressing. I seasoned a couple of thin chicken breasts with garlic salt, chile powder and cumin. I baked it for 20 min. at 350. I cut the chicken into slices and it was sooo good. The flavor went perfect with the salad. I left out the tortilla chips and cheese to make it healthier. My husband kept raving about it too. It's a keeper! Thank you for the great recipe!!!

This is good, but I must object to those who say it is "light". the fat content is not low.

Tasty! I made the salad dressing the night before. Increased the amount by half so I could marinate the chicken breast tenders overnight before grilling them on the stove in a grill pan. To give the dressing a little more kick, I cut the chili powder in half and added chipolte pepper . Added some corn leftover from corn on the cob and left out the chips and Parmesan b/c I didn't think the salad needed it. All of my guests loved it!

I just made this recipe and it was SO good. I used a Mexican cheese blend instead of parmesan cheese. I also marinated the chicken in the dressing and baked it, which made it very tasty. (I recommend making more dressing too.)

I'm giving this 4 stars, just because i thought it tasted good, but it just tasted like a taco to me, and i think its a lot easier to fry up some chicken and/or hamburger and add a packet of taco seasoning mix and add lettuce and cheese and whatever you want, than it is to make the dressing, chop the cilantro, and the onion, etc. It was good, but i won't be making it again, i'd rather make a taco salad.

This salad is so good! I cut up strips of corn tortilla and fried them up for the topping. The dressing is really tasty. I am planning on making this salad again.

This was a hit at dinner. Added a little more lime juice and sea salt. I added some corn as well. Next time I will add olives & red peppers.

This is a great salad, I made a couple of changes/amendments - I could not buy any fresh limes so I used Real Lime juice in the bottle, worked well but I think that fresh limes would have made it even better. I only used half the black beans. The biggest change that I did was that I made double the amount of salad dressing and I used half of it to marinate the chicken tenderloins for approx. 1 hour. This really made them so tasty and I believe added to the overall flavor of the salad. I will definitely make this again.

I love this recipe, I added some corn, changed the black beans to pinto beans and sometimes use mexican cotija cheese instead of the parm.

Great combination of flavours! I did leave the beans out though. (I`m really not that much of a bean person) Great recipe though! :)

This was good. Hubby thought it was only ok (he's a meat and potato guy). I did add some fiesta corn with it...hand it on hand and thought it would go well. Will probably make again for me....but not hubby. Thanks for the post.

We loved the salad! I used leftover mesquite marinated chicken. I might decrease the lime juice in the dressing to 3 Tbl. next time--and there will definately be a next time!

Good but I thought that the lime was a little strong.

Wow this was excellent!! I added more cilantro, because i love lots! I added some olives and some more lettuce, because i was making for more people. I don't eat chips so I baked some whole grain tortillas with some seasonings till cruchy and put those on it. Very good if you are on the south beach diet!!
