Southwest chicken salad w/ Avocado and mango salsa

1 Can prepared chicken, drained
1 C black beans, drained
1/2 C corn (any kind just defrosted/drained)
1/2 small onion minced
1 clove garlic minced
1-2 chipotle peppers minced/seeded
salt and pepper to taste
1/8 C low fat mayo*
1/8 C low fat miracle whip

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl, cover and chill.
* I used a chipotle mayo for some added heat instead of 2 peppers

Avocado and mango salsa
1 haas avocado, shelled, and cubed
1 mango, fairly ripe, skinned and also cubed
1 sm onion minced
1 clove garlic minced
1/2 red bell pepper, diced small
salt, pepper to taste
1 lemon
1 TBS cilantro, minced

put veggies/fruit in a bowl. Sqeeze lemon onto mixture, add seasoning and herbs, chill.

To make the Salad, I used romaine lettuce, but any kind of lettuce will do. Cut up the lettuce and top with chicken mixture and salsa. Add cheese or black olives and enjoy!

I also thought about/or it was suggested to me to just leave the lettuce whole and use it as a wrap for the salad and salsa. Will have to try it next time!
