Spicy Chicken Salad

Submitted by Melissa Maxwell

Spicy Salad Dressing:
1 1/4 c. fat-free sour cream
3/4 c. picante sauce
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. cumin

In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients.  Refrigerate to allow flavors to blend.

Salad:
2-3 c. chicken, cooked and diced (leftover grilled chicken works well)
1 c. tomatoes, diced
3/4 c. green onion, diced
1 (11oz.) can whole kernel corn, drained
1/2 c. canned black beans, rinsed and drained
3/4 c. reduced-fat Mexican cheese, shredded
8 c. salad greens

Fat-free tortilla chips, optional.

In a medium bowl combine chicken, tomatoes, green onions, corn, black beans and cheese.  Gently stir.  Serve over salad greens.  Top with Spicy Salad Dressing and serve with tortilla chips if desired.

This was my salad from June cooking club. I tried to put the salad in tortillas and make wraps, but they fell apart, so I took this picture later since this is what it's supposed to look like.
