Sorry to all of my blog followers, I haven't posted anything in ages! I'm not used to having both work and school going on, so my downtime is much more limited. However, I did have a chance to create a colorful and healthy Southwestern BBQ Chicken Salad last Friday. I was in the summer mood while outside on my back deck laying out, reading magazines, and painting my nails. I thought, what better way to end my day with a fresh and filling salad! The best thing about southwestern salads is that the ingredients do not go bad very easily and they tend to be fairly inexpensive. I would also suggest adding some avocado and crushed tortilla chips on top to jazz it up even more!
Southwestern BBQ Chicken Salad
Ingredients:
Romaine Lettuce
1 Tomato
1 Red Onion
1 Can Southwestern Corn
1 Can Black Beans
2 Lean Chicken Breasts
Cajun Seasoning
BBQ Sauce
Directions:
1. Thaw chicken, season with cajun seasoning and cook on a George Foreman grill (or saute pan) until golden brown.
2. Chop up tomatoes, onions, and lettuce.
3. Open and drain corn and black beans and mix together.
4. Toss everything together and use your favorite BBQ sauce as a dressing...easy as that!
This is the perfect salad when you don't feel like prepping too much and are feeling a bit lazy =). See, you don't have an excuse not to eat healthy!
