This is really good! It never would have occurred to me to add beans and corn to a salad. Sometimes you just need a couple new ideas! I used Kraft Ranch with Bacon dressing. Served it with chicken wings marinated in a mesquite marinade, baked in a 350 degree oven about 2 hours. So good!

Love it! I use ranch and salsa as the dressing for this. Super tasty. For "croutons" I crunch up tortilla chips on top and add shredded cheddar cheese. Also of course add tomato, cucumber, onion, etc. whatever you like.

A good way to jazz up a regular salad.

Even the family members that are not salad fans loved this. Did not have garlic ranch on hand so I used plain ranch. Will try with garlic ranch next time.
