I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
But why can't every day be just this good?

Mexican Chicken Salad
Since the heat is in for summer, I thought I'd share my most favorite refreshing and hearty salads.
What you need:
1 head romaine lettuce
1 can Rotel tomatoes with Cilantro & Lime, loosely drained
1 cup frozen corn
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 small tomato, chopped
1/2 small onion, chopped
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 handfuls of Hot & Spicy Cheez-Its
Newman's Own Lite Lime Vinagrette
Chili powder
Paprika
Blackened seasoning (optional)
Directions:
Cook chicken breasts on stove in fry pan with non-stick spray. Sprinkle with chili powder, paprika, and blackened seasoning while cooking. Cut into strips when cooked through.
Rinse and spin-dry romaine lettuce. Place on individual plates.
Top lettuce with spoonfuls of the Rotel tomatoes.
Run frozen corn under warm water in a colander to thaw. Place on top of salads.
Top with spoonfuls of black beans.
Layer with tomatoes, onions, peppers, and cheese.
Place cooked chicken on top.
Crush a handful of Cheez-its and place on top.
Sprinkle with Lime dressing.
Delish.
