Chicken Fajita Salad
Another delicious no-brainer grilling-season meal. Grilled chicken rubbed with southwestern spices sits atop grilled peppers and onions, freshly made pico de gallo (tomatoes, onions, cilantro, jalapeño, and lime juice), guacamole (avocados, onions, cilantro, and lime juice) and spring salad mix.

The recipe Lisa made tonight is a perfect example. Shiitake mushrooms, tofu, chicken, carrots, and spinach in a broth made with chicken stock, hot peppers, […]
