BBQ Chick’n Ranch Salad Premium PD Recipe

2016-01-19

BBQ Chicken Ranch Salads are on every pub and restaurant’s menu. The Cheesecake Factory and Bar Louie each have one on their menu averaging 1,000 calories, 159 mg of cholesterol and 55 grams of FAT, not to mention lots of sugar. Restaurant salads were my problem and a major contribution to my then-high cholesterol and obesity when I was eating a standard diet. I’ve recreated this beloved meal-sized salad to weigh in at just 350 calories with a heavy handed pour of creamy dairy-free dressing, a full cup of crunchy, energy-rich, gluten-free, starch-based add-ins topped with naturally balanced clean organic plant-based protein, carbohydrates, fat and FLAVOR for protective nutrition that really satisfies.

    I just made the BBQ bites in my air fryer and they turned out beautifully! Set the air fryer for 370 for 20 minutes

    Finally had the BBQ ChickN Salad. Oh my gosh! Julie you keep out doing yourself!!

    First I had to make two batches of the barbecue bites because Lynn and I ate the first batch last night that was supposed to be for todays salad! It is so good.

    I am really impressed with the flavors that all come together with the ranch dressing, the barbecue bites, the corn, and the salad chips.

    This is a 10 for sure!!!

    This recipe scared me because it had so many recipes within a recipe but I really wanted to eat that salad. When I finally did it I realized each recipe is quite simple and this salad was so delicious. I ate it every day last week and intend to make it for lunches again this week. And there is another bonus. It makes the best soggy salad I’ve ever had. Julie you hooked me on soggy salad protective diet style!

    Love this! I made dinner tonight using these recipes and they were awesome! So glad I finally tried the ranch dressing made with soy yogurt instead. The BBQ tofu bites were amazing!

Pattye O Update

It’s amazing the tricks your mind likes to play on you. Today is my 3 month 100% PD anniversary, so I stepped on the scale. I was a bit disappointed. I had wanted to lose 10 pounds this month, instead I lost 8.5. 8.5 is not bad, but it didn’t put me into the next… Read more or comment “Pattye O Update”

December 1, 2013 I found Protective Diet after someone in another Facebook plant based diet group mentioned it. I went immediately to the website and I just knew it was for me. I joined PD-Ed right away and started eating a Protective Diet. I’ve never looked back. I’ve struggled with my weight my entire life.… Read more or comment “Karla F.”

Results are typical on a Protective Diet

I have lost over 12in around my waist, moved my belt over 7 loops and clothes I never thought I’d ever wear again are too big. I thought I was a good cook but now I am an expert. When I’m tired from work and the last thing I want to do is cook, I… Read more or comment “Results are typical on a Protective Diet”
