This came from one of my new cookbooks with recipes from around the United States. This one happened to be from New Mexico, which I thought was ironic because it's got Santa Fe in the title. Upon reading the description, the contributer owned a restaurant in Texas and upon retirement moved to New Mexico. This was claimed to be an exclusive and very popular salad. Passive time is chill time.
Ingredients:
4 cups shredded cooked chicken
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped black olives
2 green onions, sliced thin
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/8 teaspoon cumin
salt and pepper
Directions:
1. Combine the chicken, peppers, olives, onion, and 2 tablespoons of the cilantro in a large bowl. In a small bowl, combine the mayo, sour cream, lime juice, and spices.
2. Toss the vegetable/meat mixture with the mayo dressing. Cover and chill until time for serving.
3. When serving, place on lettuce leaves and sprinkle with remaining chopped cilantro.
