Chopped BBQ Chicken Salad

I am always trying to recreate salads at home and sometimes it can be really hard. They just never taste the same….UNTIL NOW!  This salad is super simple and SO GOOD. This salad has very little sodium because I was able to control the ingredients and seasonings. You can adjust the fat content very easily as well by omitting the avocado or using a light salad dressing. It’s also a great salad to make for a large group of people at your next barbecue!
