Chicken fajita salad is one of the easiest DIY salads to make that also happens to taste awesome. While we can argue on so many things about the salad itself--I don't like the texture of onions or cilantro, for example, but I do use onion powder for the flavor--most of us can appreciate the layers of flavor that go into a fajita, and using a salad instead of a tortilla is a great way to make it lighter for this hot summer weather--not to mention add in more greens to your daily total.
This version of the fajita salad is fantastic for people who need to avoid dairy, while this one is great for people who want some extra flavor. Peppers and pumpkin seeds as toppings? Yes, please! I like to add chipotle to mine but all kinds of heat are great, and sour cream is a must for me. Playing with different cheeses is also a great way to mix it up. A local cheesemaker makes a great 5-alarm cheese that's perfect for fajitas.
