This salad is so versatile. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. I like to add black beans and corn to mine.

I love the addition of tortilla straws to this salad. They add a nice crunch and they're also a fun way to eat salad.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a great make-ahead salad. I like to make it the night before and let the flavors meld.
