Made by request, this is a copycat version of the popular Wood Ranch salad. Truthfully I was skeptical only to end up making it 3 days in a row. Delicious, easy and one of the few times I’m ok with using store-bought dressing. Summer might be almost over but salad season never is…

Recipe:

Iceberg or romaine lettuce chopped
Cherry tomatoes, halved,
Corn, fresh or frozen (thawed)
Black beans
Cooked chicken, cubed
Scallions, sliced
Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
Cilantro, chopped
Tortilla strips or Fritos corn chips
Ranch dressing
BBQ sauce


Optional add-ons:
Avocado, cubed
Carrots, diced
