This Chili Salad recipe is very similar to a taco salad but is so much more! The warm chili brings a punch of flavor to a salad and is extremely hearty on top of fresh greens. I add tomatoes, cheese, guacamole and spicy peperoncinis all drizzled with a mixture of taco sauce and robust Italian dressing. Oh yeah, this definitely kicks it up a notch! This Chili Salad recipe is perfect when you have left over chili in the refrigerator. The lettuce is a great substitution when you run out of rice or just need to change it up to avoid unnecessary carbohydrates. Either way, warmed chili gives this salad a robust, flavorful, spicy combination that I’ll be making for a long time to come. This Chili Salad recipe is a keeper for sure…
