Notes
- For a creamier ranch dressing, substitute coconut milk with soaked cashews.
- If you’re following Whole30, omit the corn and black beans from the salad.
- To store, refrigerate the leftover chicken for up to 3 days. The dressing can be stored for up to a week in the fridge.
- If using store-bought BBQ sauce, make sure it meets your dietary needs (especially for Whole30 or clean eating).
- To avoid soggy salad, serve the dressing separately and toss the salad just before serving.
