4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (1.27 ounce) packet dry fajita seasoning
1 cup mayonnaise
⅔ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup sour cream

I've made this salad several times and it's always a hit. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken or steak. I also like to add a little bit of diced red onion for an extra bit of flavor.

I love the addition of black beans and corn to this Caesar salad. It gives it a nice Southwestern flair. The dressing is also very good. I used a little less mayonnaise than the recipe called for, and it was still plenty creamy.
