Chicken Taco Salad image

"This refreshing recipe is totally flexible," Lily Julow writes from Lawrenceville, Georgia. "You can use yellow onion instead of red, lemon juice instead of lime and Monterey Jack instead of cheddar cheese. Don't like hot sauce? Leave it out. I believe in making a recipe your own."

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a hit. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken and it's always delicious. I usually add some black beans and corn to the salad to make it more filling.
