When I saw the theme for the swap this week was lettuce I knew I had to share a Southern summer staple- barbecue salad. It’s a great way to use up leftovers because it doesn’t take much meat and you can use whatever bits of your favorite salad toppers you have left.
Barbecue Salad
A quick and easy main dish salad.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes

Heat the meat and barbecue sauce until hot. Place salad greens on plates. Divide meat among the salads and top with dressing and various toppings.

That’s a great idea! I hardly ever think of making salads as the main course, but when I do I always love it. Yours looks great!
Thanks, Michele. We eat a lot of salads as the main course during the summer but this one is great year round because the addition of the barbecue meat makes it very filling.
Love it!!!
