angie gets organized: Tex-Mex Chicken Salad

Angie Gets Organized

This is why I'm trying to get organized...for my family. I am a strong believer in family meal time, but I know that without a little planning, it will be hard to keep us all together. It will also be easier to spend money foolishly on prepared foods or fast food. I love trying out new recipes, so this is my site to pass on recipes, while also organizing them into a meal plan. I hope it helps you to keep your family together. I would love to hear what others are having for dinner, or see a new recipe or two! Feel free to leave me some feedback in the comments section...at least then I would know someone is reading this!

It's not gourmet...just good food!

Tex-Mex Chicken Salad

Now that grocery stores are making it easier to make "gourmet" salads at home, I've come up with this recipe to imitate one of my favorite restaurant salads. You can buy a Southwest salad kit or buy the ingredients all separately if you need a larger amount (or plan on making it frequently!).

1 Southwest salad kit, with added grilled chicken slices and black bean and corn salsa

OR

1 bag salad greens
1 jar black bean and corn salsa
grilled chicken slices
Ranch dressing or Southwest Ranch dressing
Fried tortilla strips (sold in the bacon bit area)
French Fried onions
Tomato slices (if in season)
Cheddar cheese or Colby-Jack cheese
