Southwest Salad with Grilled Chicken

So what do you do when you have a ton of leftover southwest rubbed and grilled chicken?  You make a salad of course!  Really this dish was just about utilizing some more leftovers to carry over the cooked southwest chicken.  The only thing I had to do was literally open up a can of black beans and cook some frozen corn.  From there it’s all about assembly which is putting a bunch of ingredients in a bowl and forgetting about it.  Oh and also I may have made a honey-lime vinaigrette.  You know I can’t help myself and I always have to put my little culinary twists even on the simplest of dishes.  So if you made my last dish, then I think it’s a no brainer to make this Southwest Salad with Grilled Chicken for your next meal.
