This recipe is great with ranch dressing, or a mix of ranch dressing mixed with a few spoonfuls of your favorite BBQ sauce. This recipe is much better than the Fried Chicken Salad you get at Applebees, and much cheaper. I love to add corn, sliced black olives, sweet rings of red onion, cheddar cheese or whatever I have in my refrigerator.

Hey folks, it's not BBQ sauce, Grillmates is a line of peppered seasonings that you find in the spices. I've added Mrs. Dash's spicy seasoning to ranch dressing or whatever pepper seasoning I'm buying. Maybe that's the error some of you made thinking BBQ not peppered seasoning. My husband has made this recipe even easier by purchasing the hot and ready chicken tidbits or strips from the grocery deli on the way home from work. This is his way of not having a lot of cooking/clean up on his one night per week to cook. He makes this all the time because it's easy and he likes making "new" dressings for our family to try.

I've had this type of salad with a creamy Parmesean cheese dressing.It was very tasty.I'm not a big fan of Ranch dressing so I just buy the Peppercorn Parm cheese dressings.I've had the pasta salads with cooked chicken and veggies and the Ranch dressing was ok on them.
