Cube or shred the meat with a fork so you have about 4 cups worth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Corn:<\/strong> A bit of corn for sweetness is so delicious here. We opted for frozen corn but you could also use fresh corn, boiled and shaved off the cob.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Roasted sweet red peppers:<\/strong> Roasted red peppers add a firey, smoky flavor to this salad.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Onion:<\/strong> Chopped onions add a nice crunch to the salad. If you want a spicy kick, go with a red onion, otherwise, a sweet white onion will do for a milder taste.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cilantro:<\/strong> Fresh herbaceous cilantro adds a peppery finish to the salad.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mixed greens and sliced almonds: <\/strong>A bed of fresh greens like arugula, a spring mix or spinach is the perfect base for this salad and sneaks in extra nutrients. We like to finish it with a sprinkle of slivered almonds, which go so well with chicken salad.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pita pockets or tortilla wraps: <\/strong>Whole wheat <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/dishes-beverages\/sandwiches-wraps\/pita-sandwiches\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/dishes-beverages\/sandwiches-wraps\/pita-sandwiches\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">pita pocket<\/a> halves and lettuce leaves turn this salad into an easy-to-eat sandwich.

If it&#8217;s going to be there longer for a few hours\u2014or up to a day\u2014use a sealed airtight container to keep it from drying out. Store the pita, tortillas and lettuce separately though, on the counter for the bread and the greens in the fridge so you don&#8217;t have soggy sandwiches when it comes time to eat.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does southwest chicken salad last?<\/h3>\n<p>Since this chicken salad doesn&#8217;t contain dairy, it will last up to five days in the refrigerator. If it starts to get a little dry towards the end, you can always whip up extra dressing and give it another toss to liven it up.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze southwest chicken salad?<\/h3>\n<p>Although you could, you don&#8217;t want to. The texture and taste won&#8217;t be the same when you defrost it.<\/p>\n<h2>Southwest Chicken Salad Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2041334\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Southwest_Chicken_Salad_TOHD24_47874_KaylaWidmer_8.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Overhead beauty shot for Taste Recipes Southwest Chicken Salad on a plate.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Kayla Blydenburgh for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How do I make southwest chicken salad better?<\/h3>\n<p>Be sure to let it chill before serving. It needs at least a couple of hours for the ingredients to develop and absorb all the seasonings from the dressing. Also, if you like your chicken salad on the spicy side, add a few dashes of hot sauce to the dressing or chopped jalapenos to the salad.<\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s in a traditional southwest salad dressing?<\/h3>\n<p>Many southwest-style dressings are mayo, yogurt or sour cream-based. If you want a creamier salad, add one of these (or a mix!) to the dressing.<\/p>\n<h3>What to serve with southwest chicken salad?<\/h3>\n<p>Given the bold, Tex-Mex flavors in this dish, it pairs well with other Mexican favorites such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/beans-and-rice-dinner\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/beans-and-rice-dinner\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">rice and beans<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/queso-dip\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/queso-dip\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">queso dip<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/nacho-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/nacho-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">nachos<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-guacamole\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-guacamole\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">guacamole<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/frozen-margaritas\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/frozen-margaritas\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">frozen margaritas<\/a> and cold beer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My husband loves salads, and this flavorful chicken recipe is easy, nutritious and very tasty.

I like chicken salad well enough so, in a fit of healthy eating, I decided to make this.  It-was-delicious!  I added black beans to give it a little more color and a couple of roasted jalapenos (minus the seeds) for spice.  Aside from that, the only thing I'd really change is .. I might make a larger batch of the dressing.  The amount provided is enough.. i just really REALLY like the dressing so... I want more!","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2011-05-02","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"sweetangelkisses"},"reviewBody":"The salad was good but I didn't care for the dressing.
