BBQ Chicken Cobb Salad

 

How is that for a delicious looking salad?  That particular configuration is a sure fire way to get my kiddos to eat salad for dinner.  For some reason, my little ones go nuts over "striped" toppings.  I just thought it looked cool, but whatever gets them to eat their veggies!

This salad is a favorite of ours during the summer months when it's to hot to eat much else.  But it makes a great, nutritious, filling meal any time.  The platter is always licked clean and it's food I can feel good about serving my family.
