3 cups fresh spinach
2 cups cooked chicken shredded or diced
2 cans Mexicorn, whole kernel corn with red and green peppers, drained 11 ounce each
3 large Roma tomatoes diced
1 ½ cups shredded Colby-Jack cheese
2 green onions chopped (tops too)
1 ½ cups southwest tortilla strips or chips
2 Tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped
¾ cup salsa
¾ cup French dressing

In a large glass bowl, layer half of the lettuce and spinach. Top with tomatoes, corn, chicken and remaining lettuce and spinach. Top with cheese.
In a small bowl, mix together with salsa with French dressing. Pour over top of cheese. Garnish with cilantro, green onions and tortilla strips.

Make layered salads in a large glass mixing bowl. That way you can see all the colorful layers before you divide up individual portions.

Assemble just before serving for best freshness and flavor.

To prep this ahead of time, chop all the vegetables and cook the chicken. Store separately in airtight containers in the fridge until ready to serve.
