Ingredients

10 cups Spring Mix about half of a 16 oz container
2 chicken breasts cooked and diced
15 oz can black beans rinsed and drained
2 cups frozen corn thawed
2 cups Mexican blend cheese shredded
1 cup cilantro chopped
1 red bell pepper sliced
1 orange pepper sliced
1 cup carrots grated
½ red onion thinly sliced
1 pint grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes, cut in half
2 cups Honey BBQ Spiral Fritos

DRESSING:

1 pkg Hidden Valley Fiesta Ranch Mix
1 cup mayonnaise
⅓ cup sour cream
1 cup milk

Instructions

In a large salad bowl or platter, place the greens. Then arrange the vegetables and cheese in piles over the greens. Then arrange the Fritos around the edges of the salad just before serving. This will keep them crunchy. You can prepare the salad the same way if making individual salads in salad bowls or on plates.
In a blender bottle, add all of the dressing ingredients and shake until well blended. Or you may put all of the ingredients in a bowl and whisk together. I like to let the dressing sit for at least 30 minutes before using. Serves 12.
