Mexican Chicken Salad with Greek Yogurt Lime Crema

cooked chicken

🥗Healthier: grilled tofu

💰Cheaper: canned chicken

Tofu provides a plant-based option, while canned chicken is more budget-friendly.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor without dairy, while processed cheese is often less expensive.

tortilla chips

🥗Healthier: baked pita chips

💰Cheaper: homemade tortilla strips

Baked pita chips are lower in fat, and homemade strips can save money.

lime juice

🥗Healthier: lemon juice

💰Cheaper: vinegar

Lemon juice is a good substitute for flavor, while vinegar is very economical.

Roast corn and red onion until they develop deeper flavor.

Combine cooked chicken, roasted corn, black beans, and red onion in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, mix Greek yogurt with lime juice to create the dressing.

Pour the Greek yogurt dressing over the salad ingredients and toss to combine.

Season with salt to taste.
