Another great salad from gailanng. We loved this, dh cleaned his plate before I even sat down. That's how good this salad is. I grilled skinless, boneless chicken breast, brushed on the bbq sauce as requested and made exactly as written, the only thing I did different was to use pinto beans instead of black beans. This is so good, and good for you. Loved the blend of vegetables, cheese and bbq sauce and dressing. Never had this before, but I guarantee that I will be making this again often. thanks for another great meal. Made for Fearless Red Dragons - ZWT- Mexico

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too.
