Chef Notes

• For a more flavorful salad, use a high-quality BBQ sauce.

• If you don't have apple cider vinegar, you can use white wine vinegar or lemon juice instead.

• For a creamier dressing, use more heavy cream or mayonnaise

• If you don't have pistachios, you can use pecans, walnuts or almonds instead.

This salad is a great side dish for a barbecue or picnic. It is also easy to make ahead of time and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
