I made this and let it chill for a while before serving, which was not a great idea, since the salad become very liquid-y and soggy. If making this salad, serve immediately!

My husband and I love this salad. I do it a few different ways and it always taste great. Try breading some chicken in that new kraft southwest seasoning w/cheese. Oh wow is it yummo!!!

somewhat of a healthier version of taco salad. I substituted some plain yogurt for part of the ranch dressing. A keeper!

Love the salad! I add grilled chicken. To the dressing, I add a couple tablespoons of fresh lime juice and chopped fresh cilantro. I also sprinkle some of the cilantro over the salad when done.

This was sooo good and super easy! Great flavors! I used shredded cheddar cheese instead of the crumbles. Great summer time meal!

Love this recipe. Great with radishes and black olives. Try it with Spicy Ranch that's my fave :)

Friends were surprised how much they loved this salad. Everyone was a little iffy about it because of all the different ingredients-which is why it tastes so delicious- but there were no complaints after they tried, even the few who didn't like beans but ate it anyway. I've made it several times since then and it's always been a huge hit.
