4. Thinly slice 1/2 medium red onion.
5. Cut 1 ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and dice the flesh.
6. Dice 1 pint of cherry or grape tomatoes.
7. Arrange cucumber, red onion, avocado, and tomatoes in diagonal rows on one side of the bowl, leaving a space in the center.
8. Shred 1.5 cups of sharp cheddar cheese and arrange it in diagonal rows on the other side of the bowl.
9. Cover the salad and refrigerate while you prepare the chicken.
10. Cut 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes.

12. Brush the chicken skewers generously with 1/4 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce.
13. Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with additional barbecue sauce, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside.
14. Remove the chicken skewers from the grill and let cool slightly.
15. Remove the chicken from the skewers and arrange it down the center of the salad.
16. Crumble 4-6 slices of cooked bacon over the salad (optional).
