Some of the best concoctions can be made from leftovers! This salad is one of them. I had made a great big pot of homemade chili and, the next day, wanted more. So, for lunch I made this luscious salad! It is oh so easy. Here is how I did it!
Of course, it helps to have the chili on hand. You can use any chili but my recipe tastes really great. I always make more than needed so that we are guaranteed to have some leftovers plus I can freeze enough for a whole nuther meal (is “nuther” a word?)

Slide the warm chili on top of your salad.
