Menu Description: "Fajita-marinated chicken, corn relish, mixed cheese, cilantro, diced tomato and crispy tortilla strips. Garnished with a chipotle-ranch drizzle and cheese quesadilla wedges. Served with our citrus-balsamic dressing."

I'm a happy camper on a Saturday afternoon when diving into one of these big salads, served up with a Presidente Margarita to help relieve my hangover from a long Friday night hoo-ha. For the last several years, this has been the go-to salad when you're dining at Chili's. The chicken marinade is delicious, the corn relish is a great touch, and the citrus-balsamic vinaigrette totally rocks. And where else can you get a salad that includes slices of cheese quesadilla on the side? I love it. If you're a fan of the original, this 4-serving clone will bring it home.

I LOVE this salad at Chili's and requested it from TSR. We live in Japan and I have been missing Chili's. I was so excited to try it. Tonight I made it for friends and we all loved it. Everyone agreed that the recipe is great as is, no changes needed. You could probably half the amount of balsamic dressing, it makes way more of the balsamic dressing than needed. It was AWESOME. Thanks TSR.
