Ahhhhh….darlings, it’s so hot that La Diva has not been cooking hardly anything at all! In sticking with my goal of easy summer salads as main meals, here’s a great recipe for a salad that everyone will love! Spicy barbecue chicken salad with a cool ‘n’ creamy avocado dressing…..mmmmmm…….
Tangy, spicy barbecue chicken and crisp vegetables sit atop a bed of greens and summer vegetables and drizzled with a decadent avocado garlic dressing. Cool, quick and delicious for hot summer nights!
Heat grill
Rub chicken with spice rub and oil
Prepare salad plates
Add salad greens to two dinner plates
Layer all the vegetables onto the greens except for the tomatoes and corn
Cook chicken and baste with barbecue sauce
Let chicken cool slightly while you make the dressing
Cut chicken into slices
Splay the chicken slices over the salad
In a food processor or in a deep jug with an immersion blender, add garlic and chop
Blend until smooth
Add all the other dressing ingredients and blend until smooth
Add salt and pepper to taste
Thin dressing with milk a teaspoon at a time as needed
Dress salad and top with corn and tomatoes
Serve immediately.
Result: Wow! One of La Diva’s fave salads! The bbq chicken is slightly spicy and sweet and works great with the crunchy jicama and celery. The corn adds another texture and enhances the Southern-style flavor profile. The creamy coolness of the dressing is divine! Gotta go, the beach is callin’!!!!
