A wonderful Mexican salad that is so tasty even my most finicky child loved it! Low in fat and filled with vegetables, protein; and a quick meal to fix for working moms and dads.

Ingredients

 Salad Mix: Purple Cabbage, thinly cut carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, olives or whatever salad mixings you like
or 1 bag Prepared salad mix
1 can Chicken Chili.
1/4 cup Shredded cheddar cheese

Preparation

1. Heat one can of chicken chili in saucepan or in the microwave.

2. Make salad (best if cut fine) with lots of lettuce, tomatoes and olives (or whatever vegetables you like-we use purple cabbage and carrots thinly cut). Put desired amount in dish or bowl. No need for salad dressing.

3. Pour desired amount of chili on top of salad. Sprinkle with cheese. Serve with corn chips if desired. We use vegetable chips most of the time.

Cook's Notes

My daughter loves this salad because of the texture and taste.
I love it because its healthy and quick to make after a long day at work.

I couldn't find chicken chili, so I used turkey chili and served French bread on the side. This meal was delicious and super easy to make. My kids did not like it though. I wouldn't recommend it for the pickiest of eaters.
