Menu Description: "Grilled chipotle chicken breast with guacamole and sour cream on a bed of greens tossed with two cheeses, pico de gallo, tortilla strips and our Mexi-ranch dressing."

Clone some red pepper marinade that will make the chicken breasts taste like Applebee's chipotle chicken, then mix up a clone of the Mexi-ranch dressing and some fresh pico de gallo and you're on your way to salad heaven. By the way, if you don't have buttermilk for the dressing and don't want to buy a whole carton just to use a tablespoon, simply substitute regular milk. Find ground chipotle pepper such as the stuff made by McCormick. If you can't track it down, substitute cayenne pepper. Just be sure to half the amount, since cayenne is hotter than chipotle.
