BBQ Chicken Salad
« on: July 15, 2010, 09:40:23 PM »
BBQ Chicken Salad

¼ cup mayo
¼ cup BBQ sauce (Walden Farms)
1 T. lemon juice, or less since Walden's is S/F
½ tsp pepper
¼ tsp salt
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2 cups chopped, cooked chicken breast
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 celery rib, sliced
5 cups salad greens
4 bacon strips, cooked

Combine first five  ingredients and refrigerate "at least" 1 hour - the longer, the more flavorful.
Cook, bake, fry or grill chicken breasts – chop.  (great way to use leftover chicken).
Combine chicken, celery and mayo/BBQ sauce.  Serve over salad greens, sprinkle with crumbled/chunked bacon bits and tomato.
5 servings

Notes:  Chicken is more flavorful when cooked/grilled/baked with spices.  Short on time, so I boiled chicken in broth and Montreal Steak seasoning.  Personalize your salad – we cut back on tomato, omitted celery (didn’t have), added cukes, avocado, grated onion, and feta/blue cheese crumbles - yummmmm.  A delicious, light meal on an unbearably hot night.  Will have again tomorrow night when the flavors are even better after blending.  Also good on lettuce leaf/tortilla.

Recipe from Allrecipes.com.

Confession:  This FTS newbie cheated and added  1 tsp BBQ sauce from our favorite rib place to the Walden's sauce - my bad, my bad...
