CPK BBQ Chicken Salad Low Carbified

California Pizza Kitchen has one of my favorite salads the CPK BBQ Chicken Salad but they drench it in their own version of ranch dressing which scares me because there is almost always some hidden sugar involved.

I am also trying to eat at home more often so that I can control what I am putting in my mouth.  This causes me to have to come up with my own version of this ranch dressing that I can make at home because I am not missing out on this salad.  I am usually pretty good at taking any recipe and creating a much healthier version that actually tastes better than the original and this was of course no different.  So please let me know how awesome I am and comment below!
