These recipes taste almost as good as Cafe Rio chicken salad. The dressing is good too. I buy the little chips and the powdered Parmesan cheese from the cafe to serve with mine and serve with homemade salsa.
Salad order: rice, beans, chicken, grated cheese, lettuce, salsa, chips, and Parmesan cheese. The dressing is then added. Each one has there own plate or bowl.
