Chicken and Rice Taco Salad image

Now that summer is winding down, I'm planning ahead to ensure that our weeknights go as smoothly as possible. I know that my days are going to be very busy. One thing I don't negotiate, even when our schedule is crazy, is having dinner together with my family. Dinner can sometimes be overwhelming, but with Knorr® Sides, I spend less time in the kitchen and more time with my family.

This salad is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. The chicken and rice are a great way to hide the vegetables and the dressing is so tasty that they won't even notice.
