Chicken Ranch Salad

1 Bag Salad Greens (I like the butter lettuce blend)
Leftover cooked Chicken, chopped
1 Avocado
Black Beans (1 15 oz can, rinse/drain)
Corn (1 can, drained)
Tomatoes
1 Lime (juice of 1/2, cut the rest into wedges)
Cilantro, 1 bunch, rough chop
BBQ sauce (I love Sweet Baby Ray's)
Ranch Dressing (Hidden Valley Ranch packet, make your own - it's so worth it)

Chop the chicken and toss with BBQ sauce until it's all nicely coated but not drippy.

I do the salads in individual bowls so everyone can tweak it to their tastes.  Here's the basic layout:
In a bowl toss the salad greens, avocado, beans, corn & cilantro with the Ranch dressing.  Then top with chicken, tomatoes and a squeeze of lime. 

If you aren't worried about calorie counts, some Tostitos would be good with this.  Also some bacon bits and mexican cheese would be good.  But I promise - you won't miss them.
