My hubby actually came up with this idea. One night I was desperate for a dinner idea-I had chicken, lettuce, canned foods of various kinds and sauces that always seemed to sit in the fridge. My creative juices weren't flowing, but thanks to the hubs we had an incredible meal that night. We have since then added some more favorite ingredients to our favorite summer salad!!
The other night when my brother and sister in law were visiting we decided to go hiking around dinner time. Instead of packing your typical "sandwich" meal, I packed a few of our favorite salad ingredients in a cooler and after we were done hiking, we had the most tasty, refreshing meal! It was perfect!
Salad (Serves 4-6):
3 large boneless, skinless chicken breast
1/4 cup barbecue sauce
2 heads of Romaine Lettuce (washed and dried)
1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 can sweet corn (drained)or 1 cup thawed frozen corn
chopped green onion
2 tomatoes
1 avocado
crispy tortilla strips
Dressing
1 cup of your favorite ranch dressing
1/2 cup of your favorite bbq sauce
Grill up your chicken breasts, basting it with BBQ sauce during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Cube the grilled chicken and top on washed lettuce with other favorite remaining ingredients.
For the dressing, mix ranch and bbq sauce together and pour over salad!

Already had this dinner twice and it was delicious both times. Easy to prepare and very tasty with the rotisserie chicken. I had seconds and I am not a big salad eater.
