Sometimes I crave a really good salad! Most of the time it’s something I can throw together, but there are times when I just want a very specific salad that I can only get at a restaurant. One of my all time favorite salads is a BBQ Chopped Chicken Salad from Panera Bread. It’s the perfect blend of yum and crunch!
Although I love this salad, I don’t love to spend almost $10 every time I want it, so I’ve done my best and come up with my own version that is super tasty and will serve up to four people and not cost $40! And even if you don’t have chicken or are vegetarian, this salad has enough to fill you up and leave you satisfied.
Place ingredients in bowls.
Toss with dressing!
