Grilled BBQ Chicken Salad

This used to be one of my favorite meals during college. I don't know about all of you, but the "freshman 15" definitely knocked on my door and came to stay during my college days. Considering the dining hall was directly across the hall from my dorm room and they constantly had self-serve ice cream...well, that didn't really help.

When I finally moved off of campus and could finally make my own meals, this was a salad that I would make often. All the ingredients are fresh and healthy, and there's really no need for extra dressing since the combination is so flavorful. I would sometimes drizzle some extra BBQ sauce over top of the salad, but that's all it needs. Delicious I tell you! And it really worked as part of my diet! Well that and spending every day in the gym. But it worked! Enjoy :)

Here's the grilled chicken prior to slicing.

Delicious salad!
