Southwestern Salad with Green Chile Lime Salad Dressing – this saladrecipe is so good and a great way to use leftover chicken
It was one of those clean out your refrigerator type days!
I had intended it to be a ‘meatless Monday’ but we had leftover grilled chicken.
I know Big Daddy was thinking, “Hallelujah!”
The salad is simple, even if you only cook Hamburger Helper you can throw this together.
The Green Chile Lime Dressing is the star of this salad.
Actually, I can eat it as a dip. It’s that good.
By the way, have you ever tried a very random food combination,
like, dipping corn chips in ricotta cheese? No?
It’s actually not as bad as it sounds…..er, I mean,
me either!!
Just try this salad dressing!
