A good salad makes an excellent lunch, and it can leave you feeling truly satisfied! But sometimes after selecting the perfect ingredients, it feels like you’ve spent significantly more time prepping for a meal than you did enjoying it.
That’s what we kept in mind when creating this tasty barbecue chicken salad that’s convenient, full of veggies and lean protein, and done in a matter of minutes. The PERDUE® Crispy Chicken Strips are filling, while corn and beans add a yummy dynamic that makes each bite a little different. Add in tortilla strips for a fun and colorful crunch. Also, how genius is a barbecue-ranch mix for the dressing?
Watch the video for a quick tutorial on how to put it together.
