Recipe Swap Tuesday ~ Southwest Salad

One of my weekly staples is to make a big salad that not only is for dinner, but enough for both H and I to take to work for lunch the next day. I like to pack it full of different ingredients so that it's not just good for you, but will also fill you up and not leave you hungry and wanting more.



Ingredients

Head of lettuce
Roma tomato
Cucumber
1 can of reduced sodium black beans
1 can of no salt added corn
Diced grilled fully cooked chicken
Black pepper
Reduced fat shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

Rinse and chop veggies and add all other ingredients and toss to mix it all up. You can also toss the chicken in some bbq sauce and use light ranch for your dressing to make it a bbq ranch chicken salad.




If you can't tell, we kinda like cheese in this house.....

  2. That looks so good. I love a good filling salad especially in the summer on the days you just don't want to cook.
