Other Options for the Healthy Chicken Fiesta Salad

As with any salad, the options are almost unlimited. For example, you might add some strips of bacon to this salad if you're looking for more protein.

You can try different types of dressing as this salad dressing is based on extra virgin olive oil. You might try some different oils and add some different vinegars as well. Oil and vinegar based dressings are very healthy. I like to base some salad dressings on Udo's Choice oil which is very high in Omega 3 fatty acids, which are highly important.

You can add just about any vegetables you like to this salad.

A good side you can place on the edge of your plate is cottage cheese. Add cottage cheese on the side if you want to add protein to this meal. You can also add some fruit on the side with the cottage cheese to pack your meal with an even greater number of nutrients.

Fresh garden salsa is another great addition to this chicken fiesta salad. It will definitely make the overall salad more festive! Have fun with this recipe.

Mushrooms and olives are another great addition to this salad. Experiment and let me know what you add so I can try for myself.
