Salad Base

BBQ Chicken

Toppings

Dressing

Method

Preparing the Chicken

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill or cook them for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear.

  2. 2

    Add BBQ Sauce

    Once the chicken is cooked, brush both sides with BBQ sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the sauce to caramelize. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 3

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large salad bowl, chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber, and thinly slice the red onion. Add all these to the salad bowl.

  2. 4

    Add Toppings

    Drain and rinse the black beans and corn. Add them to the salad bowl along with shredded cheddar cheese and diced avocado.

Making the Dressing

  1. 5

    Combine Dressing Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Final Assembly

  1. 6

    Combine and Serve

    Slice the grilled BBQ chicken and place it on top of the salad. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
