FIESTA GRILLED CHICKEN SALAD

Fiesta Grilled Chicken Salad image

I came up with this delicious meal salad after I found I was all too often relying on prepackaged deli salads that were too expensive and not always the freshest. This is quick and easy, can be prepared ahead and scaled up or down depending on the servings needed.
