Barbecue Chicken Salad

Barbecue Chicken Salad

Our Barbecue Chicken Salad recipe is crisp and refreshing and loaded with all your favorite barbecue fixin's. It takes just 25 minutes to throw together!

Do you love barbecue sauce so much you could almost drink it? Me too! I just can't get enough of it, especially when covering a juicy and tender piece of grilled meat. A barbecue meal isn't usually the healthiest but this Barbecue Chicken Salad is! It's filled with lean cut bbq chicken and loads of veggies.



Hey friends! Melanie here again from Garnish & Glaze. We're already into the February which means we're on our second month of resolutions. I don't have the resolution to lose weight but just to eat healthier/eat more vegetables. It does not come easy for my sweet tooth. Salads have been my thing this year because they're yummy and pack in a whole lot of vegetables.

The great thing is that they still have a little of my favorite things like cheese, bacon, and avocado which makes me want to eat salad. I think you'll be just as excited to eat this salad as I am!

Helpful Tips to Make Barbecue Chicken Salad:

• For crisp lettuce, soak in cold water for 5 minutes, drain, and dry in a salad spinner.
• Don't toss with dressing until ready to serve. Dressing causes lettuce to wilt so it's best to only apply dressing to what you are going to be eating right away.
• Meal prep this by cooking the bacon and chicken ahead of time and chopping up all the veggies. When ready to eat, just dump it all together in a bowl.
• If grilling a day or two before, cook the chicken on the grill and then refrigerate until ready to make the salad.

What You Will Need to Make Barbecue Chicken Salad:

• Non-stick Skillet- Everyone needs a good skillet. I use this almost daily for everything from cooking eggs to browning chicken or ground beef.
• Cutting Board- A big good solid cutting board is a necessity. I have many cutting boards but always come back to this one.
• Quality Knives- Good quality knives are not only important to ease of slicing and chopping but also for safety. You can help prolong the quality of your knives by quickly honing them regularly.

Enjoy!

With love from our simple kitchen to yours.

Helpful Tips to make Greek Spaghetti Salad:

• Make sure you salt the water when you boil your spaghetti. This will give the pasta a little more flavor.
• Make it ahead of time! Cook your pasta and chop your vegetables the day before and store everything together in an airtight container. Make and store your Greek vinaigrette separately. When you’re ready to eat pour the vinaigrette over the pasta salad and toss it until everything is well coated. 
• You can roast your own red peppers or save some time and use a jar of roasted red peppers.

What you will need to make Greek Spaghetti Salad:

• Strainer – You can’t make pasta without a good strainer! Make sure to drain the water from the pasta thoroughly before adding the other ingredients.
• Knife – The pasta is the only thing that has to be cooked for this recipe after that it’s all chopping. A good knife makes getting perfectly diced vegetables that much easier. 
• Garlic Press – Save yourself some time and use a garlic press to crush your garlic rather than mincing it by hand.
• Bowl with Lid – This Greek Spaghetti Salad is going to be making an appearance at a lot of summer potlucks and that means you need an easy way to get it there. A large bowl with a tightly fastened lid can go straight from the fridge to the party.

Enjoy!

With love from our simple kitchen to yours.

Summer Vegetable Salad

Summer Vegetable Salad

Summer Vegetable Salad with a tangy basil vinaigrette is very easy to make and bursting with summer flavor!

Garden overflowing? Go a little crazy at the farmer’s market? Use up summer’s bounty to create this fresh, crunchy summer salad in no time at all!

One of the best things about summer is the prolific amount of fresh produce that is everywhere.

Whether you hit up your own garden, your local farmer’s market, or even your favorite grocery store, you’re bound to be enraptured with the bright colors of fresh summer vegetables.

I am the queen of overbuying produce, and I also despise throwing away food.

I ran into this situation this week and rather than eventually throw everything out because my wallet is apparently bigger than my stomach.

I remembered this amazing summer vegetable salad that my favorite Italian deli makes in the summer.

Its a very simple salad, but completely full of fresh summer flavor.

While I was never sure what they used in their dressing, I opted to make a light, tangy dressing of basil, vinegar and a touch of dijon mustard.

Speaking of simple recipes, of course our new cookbook {The Simple Kitchen - available to order now}is packed with delicious, easy recipes.

The Simple Kitchen is loaded with more than 75 BRAND NEW recipes and a hand full of family favorites too.

Helpful Tips to make Summer Vegetable Salad:

• This recipe is good for almost anything you have around. In this version, I used grape tomatoes, corn, red onion and cucumber, but yellow squash, zucchini, etc also work.
• To make the corn, my favorite trick is to microwave the ears still in the husk for six minutes. Use a sharp kitchen knife to slice off the end of the cob- close to the base. Carefully slide the corn out of the husk- no shucking required and NO stray corn silk!

What you will need to make Summer Vegetable Salad:

• Large Bowl-
• Cutting Board-
• Sharp Knife- 

Enjoy!
