Salad Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Grill or pan-fry the chicken breasts until they are fully cooked and have a nice golden color, about 6-7 minutes per side. Once cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.

Prepare the Salad Base
In a large salad bowl, combine the romaine lettuce and spring mix. Toss gently to mix the greens evenly.
- 3
Add Toppings
Top the mixed greens with the diced tomatoes, corn salsa, sliced grilled chicken, cotija cheese, and seasoned tortilla strips.
Avocado Ranch Dressing Preparation

Make the Dressing
In a blender or food processor, combine the avocado, sour cream, buttermilk, ranch seasoning mix, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the dressing is too thick, add a little more buttermilk to reach your desired consistency.

Serve
Drizzle the avocado ranch dressing over the salad or serve it on the side. Toss the salad gently to combine or simply allow diners to dress their own portions.
