Ingredients

  • 2 cups lettuce Romaine, Spinach, Iceberg
  • 1/4 cup corn
  • 1/2 cup grape tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 3 slices red onion
  • 1 barbecued chicken breast or fried chicken strips
  • 1/3 cup Santa Fe-style crunchy tortilla strips

Dressing:

  • 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
  • 2 tablespoons ranch dressing

Instructions

  • Layer the lettuce, corn, tomatoes, cheese, onion and sliced chicken on a plate.
  • Mix barbecue sauce and ranch dressing in a small bowl. Drizzle over the top of your salad.
  • Sprinkle with Santa Fe tortilla strips, if desired.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

*I sometimes toss my chopped chicken in barbecue sauce if it is leftover and has dried out a bit.
*I used Fresh Gourmet's Santa Fe Tortilla Strips.
*This recipe is for one salad, but it is easily adapted to make more than one.
