One for the Table: Take chopped salad to the next level with bold flavors
In California, it's quite common to find a little "south-of-the-border" influence in many of our recipes, as is the case with this Mexican themed chopped salad. It is bursting with vibrant flavors; and while perfect for lunch, it's also hearty enough to serve for dinner.
Like most chopped salads, this dish fairly easy to throw together, especially when you use a store bought rotisserie chicken. Adding a few traditional Mexican flavors like chili powder, cilantro, lime -- combined with the creamy avocado, pan roasted corn kernels and crunchy romaine lettuce -- this salad reaches a new level of taste satisfaction.
