Which of the following ingredients is NOT included in the BBQ Chicken Salad?

The BBQ Chicken Salad is typically made with a variety of fresh ingredients designed to complement the flavor of the BBQ chicken. Among those ingredients, tomatoes, avocado, and cilantro are commonly featured, providing both taste and texture.

Fried chicken, on the other hand, is often not a component of this salad. Instead, the salad generally includes grilled or smoked BBQ chicken, which enhances the flavor profile without the heaviness that fried chicken would introduce. This distinction helps keep the salad light and conducive to the BBQ flair. Thus, choosing fried chicken as an ingredient is inconsistent with the traditional composition of the BBQ Chicken Salad.
