Barbecue Chicken Salad

One of my favorite restaurant salads is the barbecue chicken salad from CPK.  The pizza is pretty good too!  We decided to recreate it several weeks ago and I still dream about it now.  It's light and zesty...a nice reprieve from the dreary winter months.  

As with most of my "true" recipes, since we made it on the fly, the amounts are guestiments.  Guess accordingly.

{ingredients}

lettuce

chicken

tomatoes, diced

avocados, diced

white corn {one can}

red onion, finely diced

black beans {one can, drained}

cilantro {washed and finely chopped}

BBQ sauce {I prefer mine more tangy than sweet}

light ranch dressing

{method}

Grilled chicken and then cube and dress in BBQ sauce.  Combine lettuce, tomatoes, avocados, corn, onion, and black beans {you can follow this recipe for a yummy salsa}.  Toss and coat salad with ranch dressing.  Add chicken and cilantro and drizzle  extra BBQ sauce on top.  You can serve with tortilla strips for an extra crunch.

Pretty simple, but amazingly delicious!
