Categories     Lettuce Salads

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 c torn salad greens
2 large tomatoes, chopped
1 1/2 lb chicken, cooked and cubed
10 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
2 hard boiled eggs, sliced
BBQ Dressing
1/2 c mayonnaise
3-4 Tbsp BBQ sauce, your favorite!
2 Tbsp finely chopped onion
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp pepper

Steps:

  • 1. In a small bowl, combine the 5 ingredients listed under BBQ Dressing, mix well. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
  • 2. Place salad greens on a large platter. Sprinkle with tomatoes, chicken and bacon; garnish with eggs.
  • 3. Drizzle with Dressing or serve the dressing on the side.
  • 4. My tips...as I said in my above comment, I sometimes just serve it with Ranch or a Greek Feta Dressing. I like to use cherry tomatoes and just cut them in half. Use as many eggs as you like...and I also like to add cubed mozzarella cheese. You can also use cooked and cubed turkey instead of chicken!

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. Look for tomatoes that are firm and have a deep red color.
  • If you don't have any fresh basil on hand, you can use dried basil instead. Use about 1 teaspoon of dried basil for every tablespoon of fresh basil.
  • To make the chicken salad ahead of time, cook and shred the chicken and refrigerate it for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, mix the chicken with the other ingredients.
  • Serve the chicken salad on a bed of lettuce or in a lettuce wrap for a healthier option.

Conclusion:

This barbecue BLT chicken salad is a delicious and easy-to-make summer dish. It's perfect for picnics, potlucks, or backyard barbecues. The smoky flavor of the barbecue sauce, the crispy bacon, and the fresh tomatoes and basil come together to create a flavorful and satisfying dish. Whether you serve it on a sandwich, in a lettuce wrap, or on a bed of greens, this chicken salad is sure to be a hit.
