Mexican Chicken Salad Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

This fabulous recipe for mexican chicken salad is one i serve often, especially in the summer. Don't be intimidated by the long list of ingredients. The recipe really goes together quickly. This really isn't an authentic mexican recipe; it's more tex mex. And you can make the chicken mixture and prepare the veggies ahead of time. Cover and store them in the fridge until dinner time. When you want to eat, just assemble, toss the salad, and dig inThe combination of textures and flavors in this recipe is really superb. For a really nice presentation, serve the salad in tostada bowls you can buy at the supermarket. I like to serve this salad buffet style, and let each diner assemble her own masterpiece. Serve with lots of cold pop and beer for a fabulous meal.
