Buffalo Shrimp Wraps

BBQ Chicken Salad with Chipotle “Ranch”
August 20, 2019

BBQ Chicken Salad with Chipotle “Ranch”

This salad is fully loaded and even those resistant to salads and doubting if they’ll feel full, can get behind this one. That’s the number one complaint about salads that I hear – they don’t fill them up. Those are what I call boring salads. I could eat salad every single day, but I refuse to eat boring salads. I need them to be packed full of all the goodies and be satiating.

This BBQ Chicken Salad is both of those things and anything but boring. It’s perfect for any time of year, but I especially love it during summer. There’s something about BBQ chicken in the summer that just seems right. Add in everything you would put on or with it even without the lettuce and you’re on the path to a successful and filling BBQ Chicken Salad you and your whole family will love.

BBQ Chicken Salad with Chipotle “Ranch”

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless and skinless chicken breasts, grilled and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • Pink Himalayan salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 4 tablespoons of BBQ sauce, plus more for garnish
  • 1 head romaine lettuce, sliced or torn into bite size pieces
  • 2 avocados, roughly chopped
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • ½ red onion, finely chopped
  • 1-pint grape tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 cup cilantro, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup cotija cheese, optional
  • 1 cup of Chipotle Ranch (Dairy-Free)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl combine all ingredients for the dressing and mix well. Let set in fridge while you prepare the salad.
  2. Heat your grill over medium-high heat. Drizzle avocado oil over your chicken and season with salt and pepper.  Grill on each side about 5-7 minutes or until cooked through.  Slather BBQ sauce on each piece and heat 1-2 minutes each side on grill.  Remove from heat to rest while you prepare salad.
  3. In a large bowl or individual bowls place lettuce and top with avocados, beans, onion, tomatoes, cilantro, and cotija, if using.
  4. Slice chicken and toss in additional BBQ sauce, if desired. Add chicken to salad and top salad with Chipotle “Ranch”.
