Think salad season is over? Forget that! We love a big hearty salad all year long, like today’s Southwest Chicken Caesar Salad with roasted potatoes and warm corn salsa.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Southwest<\/p>\n

As we swiftly approach fall, it’s easy to start dreaming of spicy\u00a0chili and cheesy casseroles… It’s also easy to start packing on the pounds by consuming too much chili and casserole!<\/p>\n

\"Making<\/p>\n

In our family, we try to keep dinner salads on the weekly menu all year long to ensure we get a healthy dose of veggies in season and out. I never hear a complaint from Lt. Dan or the kids, when salad is set on the table as the main course.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

The key to getting your family excited about salad is to mix things up. Top your greens with unexpected ingredients, as well as favorite flavors.<\/p>\n

\"Tonight's<\/p>\n

My southwest-style Chicken Caesar Salad is full of surprises, like crispy roasted potatoes, sliced avocado, and a warm salsa made with fresh corn, poblano peppers, and dried cherries.<\/p>\n

\"Easy<\/p>\n

The roasted potatoes make this chicken caesar seem like a manly-meal<\/em>, filling up the whole family. While the corn salsa gives it a savory-sweetness that is high on textural appeal.<\/p>\n

\"Amazing<\/p>\n

I drizzled the chicken caesar salad with my favorite Newman’s Own Creamy Caesar Dressing, for rich and zesty\u00a0flavor. The key is to use just enough<\/em> dressing to coat the greens, without over saturating your caesar salad. No one likes a soggy caesar.<\/p>\n

The combination of the creamy caesar dressing, with the piles of southwest flavor, and cherries, makes one marvelous meal in salad form!<\/p>\n

\"Simple<\/p>\n

Newman’s Own not only makes fabulous salad dressings, they have a really cool contest running this fall that will help you fill up on veggies while helping those in need…<\/p>\n

It’s no secret that a daily dose of greens is good for you, but now that same serving can also help do a world of good for others. Newman\u2019s Own\u2014 the brand that donates all profits to charity\u2014announced the first-ever Newman\u2019s Own Salad Dressing \u201cGreens for Good\u201d Recipe Contest, empowering salad lovers\u00a0to share their favorite salad recipe with dressing pairing and nominate a nonprofit organization to receive another kind of green: a $35,000 donation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Newman's<\/p>\n

\"Southwest<\/p>\n

There are so many wonderful charities to get involved in.<\/p>\n

I’d like to encourage you to think about what touches your heart: \u00a0seriously-ill\u00a0children, veterans and their families, nutrition\u00a0programs, or youth leadership training… and find a way to reach out beyond your comfort zone.<\/p>\n

One charity we support is called Charity Water<\/a>. It’s an organization that goes into the harshest areas of the world and provides fresh clean water to those in need. Water is something\u00a0many of us take for granted, yet 1 out of 9 people in the world have limited access to clean water.<\/p>\n

Providing a clean water source helps eliminate most major causes of disease, increases food supply, and increase job opportunities for those walking several hours a day to find water.<\/p>\n

We believe Charity Water is changing the world for the better. We believe Newman’s Own is changing the world for the better.<\/p>\n

What can you do to change the world for the better?<\/p>\n
