Santa Fe Chicken Salad
Reviews:
December 30, 2003

This was excellent! Just like Applebee's. I did make several modifications to make this a healthier recipe. First, I used light mayo in the dressing but you could even get away with fat free as the flavors in the salsa fill in for the lack of flavor in the lighter mayos. Second, I reduced the amount of cheese to just a sprinkle. Finally, marinated the chicken breast in fat free italian dressing. I usually HATE fat free anything but with all the flavors going on in this recipe, you can make the substitutions without sacrificing the taste. Oh- I also heated a can of black beans on the stove top with a little mexican seasoning and salsa and served them on the salad to give the recipe more bulk since this was our primary meal. My picky dh said not to change a thing and make it again next week. A winner. Thanks!
