We don't often bring you anything as direct and simple as a dinner salad. But here, direct and simple are code words for amazing, as we combine BBQ chicken and tangy ranch with caramelized onions, tortilla strips, cheese, and a dash of garlic salt. Direct and simple, delightful and sublime… all in one salad.
