Every now and again, I stumble upon an idea for a summer dinner that works beautifully. It has to have these things: a veggie, a protein, a yummy sauce, and make enough for six people. If it's easy to fix, that's a bonus! My new favorite: BBQ Chicken Salad. So easy, and everyone loved it:
I bought pre-seasoned chicken quarters and threw them into the oven while we went to the pool. (Hey - I can multi-task with the best of them!) When they had cooled, I shredded them and added 1 bag salad, 1/4 of a sliced red onion, a chopped avocado, some tiny red tomatoes, and some grated cheddar cheese. As an afterthought, I added a can of black beans, rinsed and drained.
You could use a rotisserie chicken, too. But baking it yourself is cheaper!
The dressing is the special ingredient! I mixed 1/4 cup honey BBQ sauce with 1 C. ranch dressing
and let everyone drizzle their own on their salad.

This was enough for two adults and two hungry kids....It was gone moments after I took this picture.
And it was de-lish-us.

When you come across a recipe everyone will eat,
it's a keeper!
