Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the grilled chicken, shredded cheese, halved cherry tomatoes, corn salsa, tortilla strips, and chopped cilantro. Toss gently to mix all the ingredients together.

  2. 2

    Add Dressing

    Drizzle the citrus-balsamic dressing over the salad mixture. Toss again to ensure everything is evenly coated with the dressing.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Transfer the salad to a serving platter and serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes before serving if desired.

  4. 4

    Prepare Quesadillas

    To accompany the salad, prepare cheese quesadillas by placing shredded cheese between two tortillas. Cook on a skillet over medium heat until the cheese is melted and tortillas are golden brown. Cut into wedges and serve alongside the salad.
