   Assemble salad: in a large serving bowl, layer mixed greens. Top with corn, black beans, cherry tomatoes, red onion, avocado, cheddar cheese, and grilled chicken slices.

4. 4

   Crumble tortilla chips over salad. Drizzle with prepared dressing. Add salsa and toss gently to combine. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
