Lunch this summer is a fresh, crunchy and flavor-packed salad. Strawberry Cucumber Mozzarella Salad, Triple Berry Couscous Salad, and these Pineapple Mango Buffalo Chicken Taco Bowls are three tasty salads that are on my lunch rotation. But, the favorite salad on my lunch rotation is the Creamy Chicken Fajita Chopped Salad that I am sharing with you today. Like the other salads, this one is simple, fresh, easy and packed with flavor. It is a great choice to enjoy all year long. Pack it in a mason jar for an easy on-the-go lunch!
F Coarsely chop the sweet and crispy butter heart leaves and combine with bell pepper, tomatoes, avocado, corn and red onion. Whisk together the fajita or taco seasoning with white cheddar or ranch dressing and drizzle over the top of the entire salad.
