Southwest Chicken Salad takes chicken salad to the next level with black beans, roasted corn, crisp bell peppers, and a creamy chili-lime dressing.
There’s no shortage of chicken salad recipes here—I love them, and so do so many of you! When my husband asked for a Southwest-style chicken salad, I was all in.
I got to work right away, starting with the dressing from my sweet potato burrito bowls. After some tweaking, I nailed it! It’s not just so delicious—it’s also very easy to make.
Plus, you can serve this chicken salad in so many different ways.
