Recipe 4: BBQ "Chicken" Salad with Homemade Ranch Dressing

This week I've been obsessed with making salads for lunch for my boyfriend and I. It's so fun making up combinations of vegetables and choosing a salad dressing. Yesterday I made a salad with quinoa, kidney beans, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and avocado with a dill lemon dressing. It was so filling and delicious!

Today I made a BBQ "Chicken" Salad with homemade Native Foods "Black Creek Ranch" dressing. I used a lot of products from Trader Joe's for the salad. I actually use a lot of Trader Joe's products all the time!
