BBQ Chicken Salad with Cilantro Ranch Dressing

Cort sent this recipe to me recently. It was a major hit at our house!

BBQ Chicken Salad with Cilantro Ranch Dressing
3 Cups thinly sliced Green Leaf Lettuce
¼ Cup corn
¼ Cup black beans
8 grape tomatoes, halved
1 cooked grilled chicken breast
¼ Cup favorite BBQ Sauce
¼ Cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ Cup prepared ranch dressing
1 heaping Tablespoon fresh chopped cilantro leaves

1. Place lettuce into a salad bowl. Layer with corn, black beans and tomatoes. Dice cooked chicken breast and mix with BBQ sauce. Top over salad and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
2. Place ranch dressing and cilantro leaves into a small bowl to combine. Drizzle over salad and serve.
**This recipe is for 1 large serving, double accordingly**



Cortney's notes: I didn't follow the exact measurements. I just filled a salad bowl with "enough" of all the ingredients so it looked right to me. We had plenty of Roma tomatoes on hand from our farm share so I used those instead of grape tomatoes. I forgot to use the cheese. It was still wonderful. Next time I'll probably do fresh Parmesan or Colby/Jack as Mozzarella is too squishy for me in a salad.
The addition of cilantro was wonderful- it was fun to get a little extra kick every few bites. Enjoy this fun salad- we sure did!
