Hot day. Empty fridge. Zero energy to cook. That’s exactly how this Southwest Chicken Salad earned its permanent spot in my meal rotation. It’s cool, hearty, and full of bold flavor, thanks to juicy chicken, black beans, sweet corn, crisp veggies, and a creamy, zesty dressing that pulls it all together. The best part? It comes together in about 10 minutes, no stove required. Whether you’re meal prepping or just need something fast that actually tastes amazing, this salad shows up every single time.
