As you've seen before, I enjoy making restaurant knock offs in my own kitchen. It saves a lot of money and you get to eat really yummy food. This one is inspired by Bajio's Chicken Green Chili Salad with Mango Salsa. The salad is divine and pretty healthy too. If you look at the total cost at the bottom of this post, it seems pretty expensive for a home cooked meal (especially on a frugal food site). But this isn't an everyday meal. And it is a whole lot cheaper than going to the actual restaurant. You can make restaurant quality food in your own kitchen. You can see the recipe here.
