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.
