1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 large heads Bibb lettuce, torn into 1 1/2-inch pieces

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • To make the salad more flavorful, marinate the chicken in the buttermilk-herb mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken in a skillet over medium heat.
  • To make the salad more colorful, add some chopped red onion, avocado, or crumbled bacon.
  • If you're looking for a lighter dressing, you can use Greek yogurt or sour cream instead of mayonnaise.
