I cannot remember a year when I have grown such a variety of lettuce. The other day as I was harvesting the remaining greens from my very first lettuce pallet, I suddenly had a craving for bbq chicken. So I thought, hey why not combine the two. After all, people make Chicken Cesar salad all the time, right? Why not try a bbq chicken salad instead?
Oh snap was it good. The Handsome Husband even liked it too.
Here is the recipe.
