This salad was way too time-consuming to make. I don't think it's worth the effort.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't turn out as good as the pictures. I think I might have used the wrong kind of chicken.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.

This salad was a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably make it again with less chili powder next time.

I'm not a huge fan of Tex-Mex food, but this salad was surprisingly good. The dressing was light and flavorful, and the chicken was cooked perfectly.

This salad was easy to make and packed with flavor. I used grilled chicken instead of rotisserie, and it turned out great. Thanks for sharing!

This Tex-Mex chop salad was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and juicy, the veggies were crisp, and the dressing was flavorful. I loved the addition of the avocado and tortilla strips, which added a nice crunch and creaminess.
