Barbeque Ranch Chicken Salad

Our favorite place to get a good salad is Panera Bread. Jessica’s favorite salad to get is the BBQ Chopped Chicken Salad. This is our attempt at making the salad, and we’ve got to say- it tastes exactly like the one from Panera. Plus, we pay around $8.00 for the salad at Panera, but we paid a total of $10.70 to make this salad (which serves 4), and you only have to use half of the cilantro and avocado. Loving this recipe.

What you’ll need:

Mixed Romaine Salad- $3.00-Walmart

Cilantro- $.65c-Walmart

Tomatoes- $.60c-Walmart

Avocado- $.75c-Walmart

Ranch Dressing- $1.50-Walmart

We love this salad just as much as we love it at Panera- only this time, we'll be saving a lot of money.

Stay class fellow food lovers,
