BBQ Chicken Salad

After buying Longhorn's BBQ Chicken Salad for the umpteenth time off the menu, I determined there had to be a way to make something that delicious at home.

1 head of green leaf or romaine lettuce
2 on the vine tomatoes
1 cucumber
1-1.5 c. cooked chicken (BBQ rotisserie chicken works well here)
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese
a couple T. Almond Accents Honey sliced almonds (sold in the produce section)
a couple T. fried onions
BBQ sauce (about 1 t. per serving-just lightly drizzle it)

Toss together and serve with a loaf of Publix's multigrain Italian bread (yummy with a little butter or even add garlic powder if you're in the mood for garlic bread). This doesn't take long to throw together and it tastes just like a steakhouse salad.

V. ate a plate of finely diced cucumber, tomato, chicken and grated cheese, with a piece of bread torn into little pieces. I love meals that only require an extra minute of dicing to make them toddler-compatible. She's so much happier when she can eat the same things as the rest of us.
