Ingredients
- • Beef brisket: 1.5 pounds
- • Barbecue sauce (your favorite brand): 1 cup
- • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • Smoked paprika: 1 tablespoon
- • Salt: 1 teaspoon
- • Black pepper: 1 teaspoon
- • Mixed greens (arugula, spinach, romaine): 6 cups
- • Cherry tomatoes, halved: 1 cup
- • Red onion, thinly sliced: 1/2 cup
- • Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded: 1 cup
- • Crispy bacon bits: 1/2 cup
- • Avocado, sliced: 1 avocado

Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- 2 Rub the brisket with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Place it in a roasting pan and cover with aluminum foil.
- 3 Roast the brisket in the preheated oven for about 3 hours, or until it's tender and easily shreds with a fork. Baste with barbecue sauce during the last 30 minutes.
- 4 While the brisket is roasting, prepare the salad ingredients. In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, red onion, shredded cheddar cheese, crispy bacon bits, and sliced avocado.
- 5 Once the brisket is done, let it rest for about 10 minutes. Then, slice or shred it into bite-sized pieces.
- 6 Arrange the salad by layering the brisket pieces over the mixed greens and veggies. Drizzle generously with barbecue ranch dressing and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
- 7 Toss everything together gently to ensure even distribution of flavors and ingredients. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Smoky Barbecue Brisket and Cheddar Salad is a meal in itself, but you can pair it with a warm crusty bread to soak up any leftover dressing. For a refreshing beverage, consider serving it with a cold glass of iced tea or a light lager to complement the smoky flavors. For added indulgence, finish the meal with a rich chocolate dessert to round out the dining experience.
Storage Tips
To store leftovers, place any remaining salad in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. To reheat the brisket, warm it gently in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave, then toss with fresh greens and vegetables before serving. Keep the dressing separate to maintain freshness.
