Santa Fe Chicken Salad - a simple, refreshing salad recipe that's perfect for summer!

With the start of the new year, the “let’s eat healthier” goals are inevitable.  Bring on the salads, fruits and vegetables.  The thing is, you won’t mind cutting down on casseroles or comfort food when you can eat something as good as this. 

Santa Fe Salad

Fresh deli salsa can be used with this recipe to give it a little kick.  But the homemade buttermilk ranch dressing is mmmm good! I’ve had this recipe for over ten years and every time I make it, I wonder why I don’t make it more often.

We used to have chicken and salad on most nights when I was growing up.  So this recipe just combines it all into one bowl.  And with a little extra spice.  I think my Mom would approve!
