Mexican Grilled Chicken Salad is a Tex Mex themed Salad with Seasoned grilled chicken, Avocado, Onions, Lettuce, tomatoes and a delicious cilantro lime dressing.
Mexican Cuisine is our second favorite Cuisine after Indian Cuisine. The reason is, the flavors, spices, and ingredients used in Mexican food are so similar to Indian food.The best part I love about Mexican food is the use of a lot of fresh vegetables in almost all the recipes.I try making Mexican food quite often at home and every time I do, My kids love it.
This time I tried this delicious Mexican Grilled Chicken Salad with Cilantro lime dressing. I Serve this Salad with Chicken and Vegetable Quesadillas and we all loved this delicious Mexican Meal.
This salad does not take much time to make, you just need to marinate and grill the chicken, assemble the salad and toss it in a dressing and if you grill the chicken and ahead of time it gets even easier!
You can make this Mexican Grilled Chicken Salad for Lunch or Dinner. Toss in some beans for that extra protein or add some tortilla Chips for extra crunch. This Tex-Mex grilled chicken salad in with cilantro lime dressing is the perfect way to enjoy the arrival of summer.
You can also ask your kids to make their own tortilla wrap with this Salad. My 4 year old loves to create his own wraps. He just picks up the lettuce, chicken, and cucumber, and makes his own wrap, and he feels so proud of it. Kids are so cute and sure pure!
