Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Marinate the chicken breasts with avocado oil, kosher salt, and 1 cup of BBQ sauce for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Prepare skewers by threading marinated chicken onto them.
  4. Grill skewers for about 7-10 minutes per side until fully cooked, brushing with additional BBQ sauce.
  5. Make the dressing by whisking together egg, coconut milk, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, onion powder, garlic, dill, parsley, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  6. Assemble the salad with romaine lettuce, green onions, grape tomatoes, black beans, corn, cilantro, and basil, drizzling half of the dressing over it.
  7. Serve by scooping the salad into bowls, topping with skewers, sliced avocado, and more dressing if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate chicken overnight. Adding a splash of sriracha can give the dressing a spicy kick.
