Barbecue Chicken Salad

October 5, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 13 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I have to say OMG!!!  If you’re a Barbecue Ranch Dressing fan, then you are going to love me!!  I made the most wonderful dressing for my salad that I swear I can eat by the spoonfuls!!!  This dressing is so darn good, it’s crazy!!!  It’s Greek Yogurt, Barbecue Sauce, Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning and milk.  OMG!!  I know, no chit chatting today, this dressing is so good, I can’t think of anything else.

This recipe idea came from my Friend who has a BBQ Chicken Salad a few times a week, and she always brags how good it is and how the dressing is amazing.  I would love to order it, but I’m so calorie conscious that I can’t bring myself to do it, so I always order a Farmers Market Salad with chicken, and I put my own dressing on it.  I really need to make this dressing and bring it to her.  I know she will love it and it has about 50 calories  for  about 1/3 of cup of it!  Beat that restaurant dressing.


This salad is made up of chicken, black beans, corn, scallions, tortilla chips, tomatoes and cucumber.  It’s healthy, delicious and very filling!!  It comes in at just 280 calories for a HUGE plate full!!  This salad is perfect to be made with left overs!!

I just love these kind of salads, their so healthy and easy to prepare.  After having a little to much bread this week, my body was craving a fat salad and this salad marks the spot.  I swear I can eat this kind of meal everyday.  I drive my Husband nuts with all my Southwestern type recipes.  But come on!  Who doesn’t like this kind of salad.   Needless to say he ate his dinner, but left some of the lettuce.  I’ll let him slide on that.  Even the man who HATES yogurt, liked the dressing!!!  You must make the dressing and put it on everything!!!

    This sounds altogether amazing! I ate salads like crazy this summer, and just commented the other day about how much I was missing them. Definitely making this dressing for the next one!

      I just love salads! I normally have one for lunch, but they are light. I love my dinner salads that I don’t make to often because there more beefed up with goodies! 🙂 You have to try the dressing! You will love it!!

🐾
Downlite Bedding gave my followers a 20% discount code: DYGEN20. Now to try to get my pillow back from Samuel.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

Happy Tuesday! Today we have Gale force winds and Happy Tuesday! Today we have Gale force winds and rain. I’m still blown away by this crazy weather. It feels like it’s never going to end. I just hope everyone is safe.
🌿
I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
