Method

In a large bowl, mix together the chicken, sweetcorn, tomatoes, jalapenos, kidney beans, spring onions and lettuce.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the sour cream and lime, then season with black pepper.
Toss the dressing through the salad to coat.
Mix in the cheese and tortilla chips and serve with chopped coriander.

If you aren’t serving this immediately, leave out the tortilla chips and add just before serving.

This recipe is also good for people living with cancer or going through treatment. If you want to add healthy fat to the meal for people experiencing weight loss, add sliced avocado and drizzle with olive oil.
