Loved this salad! I've made it twice and have now shortened the prep process by using packaged precooked Southwest Chicken. (This is a huge timesaver and eliminates all of the ingredients above the romaine) Did not shred the salad either, as we liked it better simply placed in the bowl as in a regular salad. Placed all the ingredients on top of the lettuce, added dressing, and tossed. I had extra dressing left over to use on another night with salad or over grilled chicken breasts. Easy and wonderful! Thanks for sharing this fabulous recipe!
