Chicken Salad Santa Fe
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.
Steps
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.
Toss the vegetable / meat mixture with the mayo dressing.
Cover and chill until time for serving.
When serving , place on lettuce leaves and sprinkle with remaining chopped cilantro.
