BBQ Chicken Salad

We had some grilled BBQ chicken for dinner one Sunday at the Holt's and we took home all the left overs. I was looking for something new to make with it and came across a BBQ chicken salad recipe. It was delicious!
BBQ Chicken (this can be done on the George Forman if you would like. Just cook the chicken with a little BBQ sauce on both sides)
Lettuce
Tomato
Corn
Black Beans
Avocado
French's French Fried Onions
The dressing is ranch and BBQ sauce mixed together. Ryan was skeptical of this until I mixed it. It pretty much tastes like Red Robin fry sauce.
I wish I took a picture of this salad. It looked pretty. It really was so good. I wish I was eating it right now.
