Summer days can be warm & lazy, but they can also be chock full of activities. This quick, easy salad makes for a great lunch or dinner with little to no fuss!

Ingredients:

• 1 bag southwestern salad mix (Walmart’s salad mix is perfect!)
• 1 can black beans, drained & rinsed
• 1 can corn, drained
• 1 avocado, cubed
• 1 lb chicken, cooked, cubed or shredded
• salad dressing of choice (the Walmart kit comes with a delicious dressing)
• jar of salsa (I like black bean & corn)

Optional add ins:

• quinoa/cauliflower rice
• red onion
• shredded carrots
• cucumbers
• celery
• anything else you’d like to add to your salad

Instructions:

1. Cook the chicken (can throw into Instant Pot for 15 minutes or crock pot for 3-4 hours) with a jar of salsa & taco seasoning.
2. Toss all of your salad ingredients together.
3. If adding to a mason jar, add chicken to the bottom of the jar, followed by black beans, corn, and any other additions you are adding, followed by cubed avocado, topped off with salad greens.
4. Enjoy!
