BBQ Chicken Salad

I found this salad on pinterest of coarse and decided to give it a try. It is really, really a great salad. It has lots of things in it, so it is more of a whole meal than just a side salad. We just had it with ranch, but the dressing it says to use sounds really good too, so we will have to try it next time.

4 chicken breasts

1/4 cup water

1 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (we like Famous Dave's)

1 recipe black bean salsa (found here)

5 cups lettuce/ spinach

11/2 cup ranch dressing

1/2 cup cilantro

1 juiced lime

1 small tomatillo

tortilla strips

Place chicken breast with water in crock pot over low heat. Pour BBQ sauce over the chicken. Cook chicken for 6 hours or until it shreds easily. Shred chicken.
For the dressing: Combine ranch dressing, cilantro, lime and tomatillo in a blender. If you like it spicy, you could throw half a jalapeno in there. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Place desired amount of lettuce on your plate. Then add a few spoonfuls of chicken and black bean salsa. Pour on dressing and top with tortilla strips.
