Ingredients

3 cup Romaine lettuce, chopped
3 cup fresh spinach
2 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced
2 can (11oz each) Mexicorn, whole kernel corn with red and green peppers, drained
3 large Roma tomatoes, chopped
1 1/2 cup shredded Colby-Jack cheese
2 green onions, chopped (tops too)
1 1/2 cup southwest tortilla strips (or chips)
2 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
3/4 cup salsa
3/4 cup French dressing

Preparation

Step 1

The dressing is super simple too: mix equal amounts of French dressing with your favorite salsa. I like to use a HOT salsa to pair with the sweet French dressing, but choose what you like! My family can tolerate a little heat.

In a large glass bowl, layer half of the lettuce and spinach. Top with tomatoes, corn, chicken and remaining lettuce and spinach. Top with cheese.

In a small bowl, mix together with salsa with French dressing. Pour over top of cheese. Garnish with cilantro, green onions and tortilla strips.
