BBQ Chicken Salad

This has been one of my favorite salads since Brook shared it with me last year! Probably the only salad I crave to make at home :) I usually just mix the barbecue with the ranch and let people put it on their salads. So yummy!! 

Oh my other hint is that I like to make this salad after I have made barbecued chicken of some sort like Dad's squirt chicken. I just cook extra and use the leftovers for this salad.
