BBQ Chicken Chopped Salad

We have been doing "Taco Tuesday" as frequently as possible over the past few years. Tuesday night has become a Mexican fiesta, Glee watching, margarita drinkin' kind of tradition that I just love!

This impressive winter we have been having has really got me thinking of summer. There's something quite summery about a big fresh salad. This week, a BBQ chicken chopped salad was calling my name.. yum!
Ingredients:
Finely chopped romaine lettuce
rinsed black beans
corn
chopped tomatoes
chipotle ranch dressing (I like to use this kind but any favorite ranch/BBQ dressing combo will do)
BBQ sauce
cooked chicken (I use a shredded rotisserie chicken)
tortilla strips, chips or croutons

Directions-
Coat chicken in BBQ sauce. Toss all ingredients together and enjoy!
*Actual amts will vary depending on how big you want to make the salad(s)

In true Jessica form, every delicious dinner needs an even more delicious drink to go with it!
In honor of "Taco Tuesday" we paired the salad with a margarita.
Not that you need an appropriate accommodating meal for a good margarita ;)

Here's to summer!! Just a few short months away!
