Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (preferably BBQ-flavored)

4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup corn kernels (fresh or canned)

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 avocado, diced

½ cup red onion, finely chopped

½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

½ cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)

¼ cup ranch dressing (optional)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: If you haven't already, cook the chicken breast. You can grill, bake, or use a slow cooker with your favorite BBQ sauce. Once cooked, shred the chicken and toss it with additional BBQ sauce to ensure it's nicely coated and flavorful.

    Chop the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, corn, black beans, red bell pepper, avocado, and red onion. Toss everything together gently.

      Assemble the Salad: Add the BBQ chicken on top of the chopped vegetables in the mixing bowl. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the salad.

        Dress It Up: Drizzle your chosen BBQ sauce and ranch dressing (if using) over the top of the salad. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

          Toss to Combine: Carefully toss the salad until all ingredients are well-distributed and coated with the dressings.

            Garnish and Serve: Transfer the salad to a large serving platter or individual bowls. Garnish with fresh cilantro for an added burst of flavor.
