I really loved this! It was very simple to make and the perfect solution for using up leftover grilled chicken. I used frozen corn because I didn't have canned on hand, and I pan roasted it until it was golden for extra flavor. I added some cilantro and that gave it an extra boost that I will continue to add for as long as I make this salad...which will be for a long time! I used l light sour cream, but was running short on light mayo, so I subbed some light ranch dressing and it was yummy. My salad needed a little salt and fresh cracked pepper as well. I ate this by itself one day, and then put it in a whole wheat tortilla the next day for a tasty wrap. Maybe next time I will add some garlic and jalepeno for extra zip. Thanks for sharing a healthy and different salad that is truly delicious.

Superb! Great low-fat recipe! I substituted fat-free mayo and sour cream for the lite versions for even less fat. I used a yellow onion instead of red and left out the celery. And added a couple of tbsps of chopped cilantro at the end. The flavor was reslly great! It's nice to have another low-fat tried and true recipe to add to my diet arsenal. (23 lbs. down and only 10 more to go!) Thanks ChipotleChick!
