This salad is a vibrant, southwestern-inspired dish that combines bold flavors and fresh ingredients.  Blackened or grilled chicken is served over a bed of crisp, mixed greens along with roasted corn, black beans, diced tomatoes, bell peppers and avocado. Cruncy elements like tortilla strips add texture while a sprinkle of cheddar enhances the richness. Finished with a zesty chipotle-lime dressing gives this dish a smoky, tangy kick.
