Southwestern-style Salad

Southwestern-style Salad

I use frozen Gardein veggie chicken strips pan-fried with Mexican seasoning, but any lean protein choice would do. I add in all the veggies in my fridge, so feel free to substitute with what you have on hand! For added “crunch” I add some leftover whole-grain tortilla chips for garnish. Such satisfaction from using up your leftovers!
