Kansas City Barbecue Summer Salad
Our most popular southern barbecue blend is perfect for a summer salad with all the fresh vegetables available in the season. The barbecued chicken ends up slightly sweet with a mustard tang and spicy kick. Pair it with ranch dip and you have a healthy, all natural meal you'll be excited to eat. Use whatever toppings you like! These are our favorites.
