Tex-Mex Salad with Grilled Chicken
Salads are not only healthy but can be packed with flavor. A great salad is a combination of flavors that are enhanced by a great simple dressing. There are a few elements that are key to making a great salad: fresh ingredients, crisp lettuce, and a great dressing. There are salads that are just meant as a starter or, in an Italian’s case, as a palate cleanser at the end of a good meal. Then there are these type of salads that are a meal in and of themselves. I hope you enjoy my take on a Tex-Mex Salad!
