    BBQ Ranch Chicken Corn Chip Salad

    By Rosanna Bauman

    I'm not sure why summer is "the” time for outdoor get-togethers. It’s always hot, humid and buggy, Perhaps It has something to do with the fact that misery loves company. Nonetheless, this time of year is ripe for family reunions, campouts, picnics and any other outdoor gatherings that you can dream up. Just this past weekend, I attended a friend’s wedding - held outdoors, of course. It’s really hard to go to a formal event when you know it's going to be hot and sweaty. But this wedding was nicely held in a grove of trees, and I snagged the last seat available In the shade! After the wedding, they served ice cream (thankfully!) as well as other cool foods like melon and salad. The salad was an original recipe with the bride’s family, but I'm sure it‘s soon to be a family staple in the homes around here. We quickly requested the recipe so that we could serve it to our employees on chicken dressing days. It has a great flavor, and those twisted corn chips really add an extra punch

      Oooh...this sounds so good! It's been so hot here in the PNW the past few weeks, and we're sick of plain salads...this sounds perfect! Grocery store in the A.M and this for dinner at night. Thank you for sharing Rosanna!
