Santa Fe Salad
Report
Santa Fe Salad is filled with bold southwestern flavor and has the most wonderful texture. Romaine lettuce, grilled chicken, black beans, corn, tomatoes, tortilla strips, avocado and cheese come together for the most amazing combination. And the creamy southwest dressing is the perfect finishing touch.
