Hi everyone! Leesh & Lu here! I love having salad for dinner, but have kind of steered away from it while I’ve had toddlers at home. Without any, or many, molars it’s hard for them to chew and I don’t like to have to make a separate dinner for them. It took a while for me to figure out that the little ones love deconstructed salad just as much I love having it for dinner. Duh. This BBQ chicken salad is a great choice for breaking down because it has so many easy-to-eat elements kids like.

BBQ Chicken Salad (8) OSSS Leesh and Lu

This BBQ chicken salad is a tasty and versatile one and obviously super adaptable to your tastes.  All of it can be prepared ahead of time which makes it a great meal this time of year as schedules get crazy and dinnertime is often chaotic.  The recipe calls for grilled chicken, but rotisserie chicken also works great here.

I loved the tangyness and extra boost of flavor that the bbq sauce added to the ranch dressing.  My kids used it as a dip for their “toppings” and everyone loved it.

We put all the toppings in small bowls on the table and let everyone assemble their own salads. Although my kids don’t eat it all together the way I like to, everyone ate without complaints and in my mind that is a big dinnertime win!
