Add half of the dressing to the shredded chicken and toss until well coated.

Prepare salad greens enough for two salads.

Slice half a cucumber and dice one tomato.

Chop green onions and add radishes to the salad.

Add crumbled queso fresco and cilantro to the salad.

Include lime wedges and tortilla strips on the side.

Top the salad greens with the shredded chicken and finish with the remaining dressing.
