Chicken Taco Salad
/Story time!
When I was pregnant with my youngest daughter the smell of sugar made me nauseous and I craved salads. This was very uncharacteristic of me because I had previously loathed nearly all green foods. I tried serving just salad for meals and the rest of my family was less than pleased. However, that same fetus is now my salad-loving little girl who has even packed plain lettuce as a school snack!
This is one salad that I can actually pull off as a meal for my family that they all love! It is a simple chicken taco salad made with fresh ingredients. The corn gives it a bit of a sweet crunch and the tortilla chips add saltiness. There are a lot of flavors happening in this one.
