This BBQ Chicken Bacon Ranch Salad is a quick and delicious dinner idea! A bed of fresh mixed greens is topped with grilled chicken, cooked bacon, crisp cucumbers, fresh tomatoes and chunks of Cheddar cheese – and then is topped with your favorite Ranch dressing and BBQ sauce! This recipe is pure awesomeness! #12bloggers
I can’t even tell y’all how excited I am to share this salad with you. Not only is it a part of the #12bloggers series this month – but it just happens to be one of my favorite dinner salads ever!! Yes, ever! I think the thing I love most about this sald (besides the yummy ingredients, obviously!) is just how quick and easy this comes together!
I love grilled chicken in this salad – and if you have leftover grilled chicken from the night before, you’re one step ahead of the game! If you really want to make this salad easy, pick up a rotisserie chicken at your local store – it almost makes this a no cook meal …. unless you buy precooked bacon too! 😀
As I mentioned, this is part of the #12bloggers series. Every month, on the 12th of the month, 12 bloggers get together and share an awesome themed recipe with you – each recipes containing 12 ingredients or less! This month, we’re sharing summer salad recipes! Be sure to read to the end of the post to check them all out!
