BBQ Chicken Salad sounds great but I have a few suggestions to make this meal better. First, I would serve my chicken hot on top of the salad. You can cut your BBQ chicken into piece or use your hands to tear the chicken. Second, I suggest that you grill the corn. It is so much better than using corn from the can. Just leave the husk on the corn on the curb and place on the corn on the grill. Make sure you soak the corn in cold water for about an hour. Trust me grill corn taste a lot better. Third, grilled your vegetables in my salad. The grilled vegetables will add to the great BBQ flavor of your meal. Fourth, substitute the mayo for balsamic vinaigrette. Overall, this is a great recipe. We all know that summer is coming to an end so get that grill out and BBQ today!
