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!

All The Don’ts PD Has Brought Me

Today is my 2nd PD-versary — I think. I didn’t pay much attention to the actual day because I didn’t really believe I’d ever need to reference it! I know I would not have started on my birthday, so I am going with the day after. I lost 30 pounds the first year, and maybe… Read more or comment “All The Don’ts PD Has Brought Me”

It’s the small things.
~Like being able to cross your legs without feeling awkward or uncomfortable.
~Or wearing a new pair of shoes that aren’t designed around your Planter’s Fasciitis that no longer exists.
~Going to a party and not feeling the need to eat everything in sight.

Logo and Favicon

I saw the movie “Forks Over Knives” in early January of 2013. I started studying the video and the written works of Doctors Esselstyn, Campbell, McDougall, Bernard, et al and knew that the WFPB was truly the best choice for healthy eating. I tried it briefly but was unable to stick to the plan. These… Read more or comment “Support and Sustainability”

Sharon and Scott

My husband Scott and I began following Protective Diet sometime right around the end of March. We had been 100% plant-based since January 2012 when I randomly ending up watching Forks Over Knives on Netflix to occupy myself one very cold Saturday here in Minnesota. As we do with everything, we plunged in 100% with… Read more or comment “Sharon H”

I joined PD in May

I joined PD in May of 2017 after seeing a post on FB. I can’t begin to express my gratitude for the changes I have experienced since joining. A little about myself – I have been obese for most of my adult life, trying one diet after another (you name it, I’ve probably tried it)… Read more or comment “I joined PD in May”
