Lately, Bill has been really into salads. That is fine with me because I LOVE salads and they are so easy to prepare. This one is so yummy!
If you wanted to substitute some savory black beans for the chicken, I bet that would be so good too!

What is southwestern seasoning??
It is a combination of onion, cumin, peppers… and I am not quite sure what else. If you cannot find southwestern seasoning, taco seasoning would be a good substitute. I purchase my southwestern seasoning from the Pampered Chef.
