BBQ Chicken Salad w./ Spicy Lime Salad Dressing

I've been trying to come up with something that could improve the quality of my lunch recently.  Sandwiches, a banana, and a pudding cup (or whatever), get boring after weeks of the same old thing.  I like taking a salad now and again, but that gets boring, too.  My wife has tried to up the ante on our daily lunches by getting many more fresh veggies, which puts pressure on making sure we get through them before they go to waste.  In a scenario with many, MANY packages of veggies, the best option is in fact to make a salad.  We decided to go a bit different this time around, and put a little spin on the normal "lettuce, cheese, dressing" type of salad that had become normal when packing a lunch in a hurry.

Love it or Hate/Scared of it...It's Handy.

I (Justin) am quite the fan of cooking from home.  You name it, I cook it, or at least have the fortitude to try and cook it.

I also like the idea of cutting up my own veggies and meats.  There's something about a real sense of accomplishment that comes from cutting everything up and "making" it yourself, even though we all know all I did was open up the packaging or peel of the label and chop/slice it up.  My wife knows that I take pride in the way that I prep and cook things on a daily basis, so when she asked for something during the holiday season, I was partly shocked, and the other part insulted.
