Summer is here!!!! This salad is so delicious. It’s a great option for Grill Night. My daughter-in-law made it for us one summer day. It was perfect. You can pair it with my grilled herb bread to make a fabulous meal!

This is a salad that the whole family will love! Because it has so many different ingredients, people can mix and match to make it exactly how they want it!

Served with our homemade Buttermilk Ranch dressing, you won’t find a better BBQ chicken salad anywhere!
