This BBQ Chicken Salad is simple, delicious and comes together in minutes – a wonderful summer salad bowl!
You know there are those people that don't really like salads? Yeah, I am always surprised that there are people that don't really like salads. Dave (Mr HHH) is exactly like that. Well, this is a salad that will win them over. Last summer (ahhh, summer. You seem so long ago), I made it my mission to create a salad that even Dave would enjoy and I more than completed that mission when I made my Spicy Steak and Roasted Potato Salad. I couldn't just make him one salad for the rest of his life, so I set out to make more that he would enjoy.

After I made my healthy ranch dressing a couple of weeks ago, it got me thinking "what can I put this on". Well, the answer to that is pretty much anything - it is awesome. But it goes really, really well with BBQ chicken. I discovered this after we had some pulled BBQ chicken leftover from tacos the night before.
This is also a great make ahead of time salad and can easily be transported to work. Make all your co-workers jealous with your tasty and healthy salad whilst they are eating their bland pre-packaged sandwiches.

I love salad. I think a classic caesar salad with fresh anchovies is my favourite .

Salads are definitely not all created equal! This one looks like it packs lots of flavour and texture contrast too :)

Yep, that's definitely a salad to win over the most ardent of salad dislikers! Sounds pretty delicious to me and I love your recipe for healthy ranch dressing.

Mmm looks lovely! My husband would definitely enjoy that, as he likes pulled pork, so pulled chicken sounds just as good!
