Friday Recipe -- Southwestern Chicken Salad

This is a new salad recipe we tried this week and Mr. Man fell in love --and remember he isn't a huge "salad as a main dish" kind of a guy!

Southwestern Chicken Salad
SALAD INGREDIENTS:
4 c Romaine lettuce, torn into pieces
2 Roma tomatoes, cubed
2/3 c sharp cheddar cheese
2/3 c corn
2/3 c crushed tortilla chips
2 chicken breasts, grilled and sliced into strips

DRESSING INGREDIENTS:
1 c ranch salad dressing
1/4 c salsa
1/4 tsp chili powder

Mix lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and corn in a large serving bowl. Mix all dressing ingredients together in a small bowl.

Place a serving amount of salad on plate. Sprinkle some of the crushed tortilla chips on top of salad. Lay some chicken strips on top of salad. Pour dressing over top of salad.
