Southwestern Chopped Chicken Salad | Sally's Baking

chicken breast

🥗Healthier: grilled tofu

💰Cheaper: canned chicken

Grilled tofu is a lower-calorie, plant-based option.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is often less expensive and has a neutral flavor.

tortilla strips

🥗Healthier: baked pita chips

💰Cheaper: crushed corn chips

Crushed corn chips can provide a similar crunch at a lower cost.

avocado

🥗Healthier: mashed avocado

💰Cheaper: guacamole

Guacamole can be a cost-effective alternative when buying in bulk.

Add all of the salad ingredients to a large bowl. (If you're not serving it right away, add the tortilla chips on last right before serving. They'll stay crunchy that way.)

Whisk the dressing ingredients together, except for the salt. Taste, then add salt to your preference.

Spoon dressing over salad, then toss to combine. Serve cold.
