Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing
  • 2 tablespoon salsa verde
  • 6 cups fresh spinach leaves rinsed
  • 1 package Foster Farms Refrigerated Southwestern Chicken Breast Strips
  • 1/3 cup fresh corn kernels cooked and cooled (about 1 ear)
  • 1/3 cup black beans rinsed
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese or queso fresco
  • 1/2 lime cut into 4 wedges
  • Optional Add-Ins:
  • Diced avocado
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Sliced olives

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together ranch dress and salsa until well combined. If you like your dressing spicier, add more salsa to taste.
  2. Roughly chop spinach leaves into bite sized pieces, and place in a large mixing bowl. Spoon dressing over spinach and toss to combine.
  3. Add corn, black beans, cheese, and Foster Farms Refrigerated Southwestern Chicken Breast Strips (if desired, chop chicken into bite sized pieces). Stir salad again to incorporate all the ingredients together.
  4. Divide salad into two portions. Serve each salad with 2 lime wedges. Squeeze limes over salad just before eating.
