Fiesta Salad

January 16, 2014 by Jodie 1 Comment

Fiesta Salad

This Fiesta Salad is my current salad obsession. I really like salads. As in, I have a tendency to fall in love with one particular salad and eat it over and over again for weeks. Kind of the way that my sister would do with a new song that she really liked when we were in high school. I found that extremely annoying and was glad that I didn’t do anything like that. I guess I just do it with deliciousness…?

Well, that’s what I did with this salad. I ate it at least once a day for several weeks. Now I’m okay with just once a week or so. It’s a pretty simple salad, but has lots of yumminess involved: shredded chicken, black beans, green onions, tomato, corn, and a vinaigrette that takes just minutes to whip up and a great smoky flavor.
