  • 1 cucumber peeled if desired, and chopped

  • 1 pint grape tomatoes halved

For the Greek Yogurt BBQ Ranch Salad Dressing:

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil

  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt

  • 1 tablespoon fresh minced parsley or 1 teaspoon dried parsley

  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh dill or ½ teaspoon dried dill

  • ¼ cup T-Bones BBQ Sauce

  • 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Instructions

For the salad:

  1. Preheat your grill to medium heat.

  2. Slice the Chicken Sausage on a diagonal into about one-half inch thick slices.

  3. Cut the top, bottom, and sides off of the pineapple and cut into about half inch thick slices. If desired, use biscuit cutters to cut out the core and cut the slices into circles.

  4. Place the corn on the grill, and cook until hot and slightly charred, about ten minutes, turning frequently. After the corn has been on the grill for a couple minutes, add the pineapple and cook about 3-4 minutes per side, turning once. Then add the slices of chicken sausage to the grill and cook for about two minutes per side, or until heated through.

  5. Remove everything from the grill. Allow the corn to cool slightly before cutting off of the cob.

  6. Place all of the salad toppings on platters or in bowls and allow your guest to create their own salads. Or divide salad greens between plates, and top with grilled sausage, pineapple, and corn, as well as tomatoes, cucumbers and avocado. Add optional toppings, as desired, and drizzle with Greek Yogurt BBQ Ranch Salad Dressing, and your favorite barbecue sauce, if desired.


For the Greek Yogurt BBQ Ranch Salad Dressing:

  1. Combine all of the ingredients except the apple cider vinegar in a bowl and mix until thoroughly combined. Add the vinegar to achieve desired consistency.

  2. If possible, let sit in the refrigerator for at least a couple hours to allow the flavors to develop. Stir again before serving.
