This Chicken Taco Salad is loaded with grilled chicken, corn, tomatoes and green onion over a bed of romaine lettuce. The simple dressing is what makes it extra delicious!
This Chicken Taco Salad is my most favorite salad in the universe. It is packed with so many flavors and pretty healthy, if you ask me. Grilled chicken, corn, tomatoes and green onion to name a few of the goodies on this bed of greens.
One of the great things about this salad is the delicious dressing. It’s a mixture of light ranch dressing and salsa. It is divine! If you’re not a fan of light ranch, just use regular ranch and you’ll be good to go. I just like to use light ranch when I’m being a little more calorie conscious. 🙂

I love taco salad. Especially with chicken. Looks delicious!
This was awesome! My husband who doesn’t like salads too much had a huge helping. I used seasoned tortilla strips for a crunch on top. Definitely will make this again. I will probably double the dressing for some on the side. Delicious!!!

I buy breaded chicken tenders for my salad.we add olives, corn, onion, several cheeses, light and dark kidney beans, guacamole, salsa, doritoes and put all items on the table individually to keep items fresh for “build your own” salad and fresh leftovers. We too, like Catalina or ranch dressing
