Lunch or Dinner Suggestion: Super Easy and Super Yum BBQ Chicken Salad

I'm always making salads for lunch, and just decided to concoct this one one day, throwing things into a Tupperware with wild abandon. It's really tasty, really healthy, and really low-cal (especially if you leave out the avocado and/or the corn). Yay!

In a Tupperware or other non-trademarked container layer in this order, from the bottom up:

chopped tomato (I like halved cherry tomatoes)
1/2 a chopped cucumber
1 grated carrot (or a handful of pre-grated carrot from Trader Joe's)
2 stalks of chopped celery (you can even include some of the leaves)
diced cooked chicken breast or black beans (or a little of both) OR soy chickenless chicken strips
2-3 T of chopped fresh cilantro
1 chopped green onion
a little chopped avocado if you like
1/4 to 1/2 cup of corn kernels if you like - I like the roasted corn kernels that are frozen from Trader Joe's
2 handfuls of torn lettuce - any kind. I like romaine for this one.

In a smaller container make the dressing - I like to use 1 T of Annie's Natural BBQ sauce and thin it out with a little vinegar (about 20 calories worth of dressing). You could also use a pre-made cilantro dressing if you like and thin it out as well. Pack the small container of dressing into the bigger container with the salad, throw in a few slices of lime if you like (you can even squeeze a little of the lime over the avocado (if you used any) to keep it from turning brown). Store in the fridge til ready to eat. This keeps for a few days in the fridge. Be on the lookout for more salad creations from yours truly. I've been going a little crazy lately!
