BBQ Chicken Salad with Creamy BBQ Dressing

I love BBQ Chicken Salad, especially in the summertime. Grilled chicken, black beans, corn, and creamy BBQ dressing make this salad absolutely perfect!
I used this dressing on my usual BBQ chicken salad and it was out of this world good! Typically I just combine ranch dressing with BBQ sauce (and you can totally do that if that is what you have on hand) but this dressing is way better!
