What a healthy combination of flavors with black beans, mixed greens and cherry tomatoes for an amazing southwest chicken taco salad. Rotisserie chicken is the greatest invention ever because it simplifies this recipe from Eating Well To Fight Arthritis.  This scrumptious salad makes a more substantial entree salad. More than just a salad, this entree chicken salad includes rice tossed with the greens.
