Barbecue Chicken Salad With Spinach, Asparagus, Tomatoes, Carrots & Cucumbers

BBQ Chicken Salad with Asparagus, Tomatoes, Cucumber & Carrots

Expectations:

This salad is a quick regular thing for me – taking some protein like roast chicken, shrimp — could easily be veg with tofu or a grain and making it into a fast salad with a balsamic vinaigrette.   The kids will eat the ‘components’ of the salad (minus the spinach) put onto their plates in nice little separated sections.

Seriously, this is a “15 minutes to done” stand-by for me on weeknights.  Usually I use left overs but if I have to make the protein from scratch, lots of fast options (i.e. hard boil eggs, spinach/scallops from the freezer, ground turkey or beef).

Ingredients:

Prep for BBQ chicken salad

Prep for BBQ chicken salad not too much chopping for a weeknight!

For kids that don’t consistently eat salad yet (mine) put the grains, vegetables and chicken onto kids plates — not touching of course! 

 

Serve & enjoy!
