Carolina BBQ Salad

This is a quick, easy, well-loved and filling recipe around here.  It’s also very filling, – a nice bridge between old-american cuisine and the new healthier variety.  I believe in building bridges between old and new!

Carolina BBQ Salad

While carolina barbecue typically does NOT include traditional barbecue sauce, the salad dressing in this recipe is similar to the sauce that most pulled bbq is served with in Carolina.  Throw it together in minutes and enjoy!
