Ingredients
  

Salad

  • 6 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 6 cups cubed cooked chicken
  • 1 and 1/2 cups corn
  • 1 and 1/2 cups black beans
  • 1 and 1/2 cups tomatoes, chopped 225g
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, diced
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup crushed tortilla chips
  • handful chopped cilantro

Dressing

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt we use nonfat
  • 3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 Tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/2 jalapeño, finely diced
  • 2 heaping teaspoons taco seasoning we use mild
  • salt, to taste and if needed

Instructions
 

  • Add all of the salad ingredients to a large bowl. (If you’re not serving it right away, add the tortilla chips on last right before serving. They’ll stay crunchy that way.)
  • Whisk the dressing ingredients together, except for the salt. Taste, then add salt to your preference.
  • Spoon dressing over salad, then toss to combine. Serve cold.
