Indulge in this BBQ brisket salad with crispy onions, creamy avocado, and tangy dressing for the ultimate comfort food experience.

Ingredients

  • Beef brisket: 1.5 lbs
  • BBQ sauce: 1 cup
  • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
  • Salt: 1 teaspoon
  • Black pepper: 1 teaspoon
  • Mixed salad greens: 6 cups
  • Cherry tomatoes, halved: 1 cup
  • Avocado, sliced: 1
  • Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded: 1 cup
  • Crispy fried onions: 1 cup
  • Ranch dressing: 1/2 cup
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped: 1/4 cup
  • Lime wedges: for serving

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Season the beef brisket with olive oil, salt, and black pepper, ensuring it is evenly coated.
  2. 2 Place the brisket in a roasting pan and cover it tightly with aluminum foil. Roast in the oven for 2.5 hours until tender.
  3. 3 Remove the foil, brush the brisket generously with BBQ sauce, and return to the oven. Increase the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and cook for an additional 30 minutes until caramelized and sticky.
  4. 4 Once the brisket is done, let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain to maximize tenderness.
  5. 5 In a large salad bowl, combine mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, and shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. 6 Arrange the sliced BBQ brisket on top of the salad, then sprinkle with crispy fried onions for a delightful crunch.
  7. 7 Drizzle the salad with ranch dressing and garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra zing.
