Southwestern Chicken Salad

This is one of my favorite lunches. I make it during the school year and during the summer when I'm at home. It's light, it's filling and it's yummy. I usually buy a can each of corn and beans and then save them in containers in the fridge to use during the week for more salads or other meal ideas. I also like to grill up a chicken breast or two and keep them on hand so they are ready to go.

1 Romaine heart, chopped

1/4 c. black beans, drained and rinsed

1/4 c. corn, drained

2 oz. grilled chopped chicken

grape tomatoes

pickled jalapenos

2 Tbsp. light Ranch dressing

Your favorite salsa

1. Add romaine to a bowl and top with the beans, corn, chicken, tomatoes and jalapenos.

2. In a small bowl, mix the ranch dressing and about 3 spoonfulls of salsa (You can add more or less if you like). Mix together. Add to the salad.

Makes 1 serving.
