BBQ chicken salad

I was really excited to try this recipe. It is a perfect summer salad and so easy to put together. The best part is that I had everything on hand already. Just a warning, if you follow this recipe exactly it makes a lot... not that that is a bad thing!

2 c Monterey Jack cheese
1 c frozen young white corn
1 c black beans
4 green onions
2 ripe tomatoes
2 c tortilla strips
3 c chopped barbeque chicken (see recipe below)

Clean and shred lettuce. Chill. Dice tomatoes and onions, set aside. Combine frozen corn and black beans. Fold in Jack cheese and toss with lettuce, diced tomatoes and onions. Top with barbecue chicken and tortilla strips. Finish with Salsa Ranch dressing just before serving.

Barbecue Chicken Sauce ingredients-
1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
3 T mayo
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup barbeque sauce
3 c shredded cooked chicken

Mix together everything except chicken, then fold in chicken and chill.

Salsa Ranch Dressing ingredients-
1 cup milk
1 T vinegar
1 c mayo
