Chicken and Salad
Creamy BBQ Cilantro Lime Dressing
Directions
- For the salad, combine the cooked chicken and BBQ sauce in a medium bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- In a large bowl, toss together the iceberg lettuce, romaine lettuce, red onion, cilantro, corn, black beans and cheese. Toss the mixed salad with about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the dressing, if desired. Otherwise, you can serve the dressing on the side. Place salad on plates and top with the prepared BBQ chicken and additional dressing.
- For the dressing, combine all the ingredients together and whisk (or shake, if using a jar) vigorously to combine. You could also run this through a blender to make it even more smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

"Fabulous is absolutely correct! What a delicious salad and the dressing is to die for! I used the breast meat from a large rotisserie chicken and of course, some Sweet Baby Ray's bbq sauce. The only addition I made was to add some sweet grape tomatoes and avocado. I highly recommend this salad -- it made a delicious, filling lunch and would be a great light dinner as well. Loved it! Made for ZWT-8-Family Pick, 2012."
