Barbecue Chicken Chopped Salad (Gluten-Free)

September 13, 2018Megan2 comments5965 views

I made this salad for dinner this week, fully intending that my husband and I would eat fifty percent of it. Boy was I wrong! The kids devoured this salad before I got much of a helping. I will most definitely be doubling the recipe next time. It went over so well that my two school-age kiddos asked for me to put it in a wrap for their school lunch the next day. I always feel like such a champion in the kitchen when my kids approve of a new recipe, not to mention a SALAD recipe. I hope you and your next dinner guests enjoy this as much as we did.

Ingredients

6 Cups Romaine Lettuce chopped
1 Cup Rotisserie Chicken (see notes)
2 Tbsp Barbecue Sauce Kraft Original
1 Cup Red Bell Pepper chopped
1 Cup Black Beans rinsed, drained
1 Cup Corn
1/2 Cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese shredded
1/2 Cup Tortilla Strips Fresh Gourmet
2 Tbsp Green Onions sliced

Homemade Ranch Dressing

3/4 Cup Mayonnaise full fat
1 Cup Plain Milk Kefir (or Buttermilk)
3 Tbsp Dry Ranch Dressing Mix Hidden Valley

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine all salad ingredients except for tortilla strips.
In a mason jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine dressing ingredients. Shake until well combined.
Use a pair of tongs to mix in the Ranch dressing. Top with tortilla strips.

Notes

Any type of cooked chicken will work in this recipe. I always have frozen rotisserie chicken on hand, so that is what I use. Also, to ensure this recipe is gluten-free, make certain you are using gluten-free chicken, dressings and tortilla strips. The brands I have recommended are all gluten-free. You can find the BBQ sauce and tortilla strips linked below in the Featured Products. Boston Market, Costco or Sam's Club all carry gluten-free rotisserie chickens. I also buy my dry Ranch Dressing mix at Costco.
