Instructions

Slice leftover BBQ meat, or grill up your choice of BBQ meat.

Corn:  If using leftovers, simply slice off the cob.  You can add it to the salad warm or cold!  If using un-cooked, cut off the cob and saute in a pan with a pat of butter for 4-5 minutes until golden.  You can also defrost fresh frozen corn from a bag.

For Dressing:  You may enjoy just our classic Buttermilk Ranch Dressing, as-is!  OR try my BBQ Ranch by placing 1 cup of ranch dressing in a bowl and whisking in your favorite BBQ sauce 1 tablespoon at a time, tasting as you go until you like it best. (Pro Tip:  This makes for a really great dipping sauce for fries, as well.)

Arrange greens in bowls.  Add BBQ meat and vegetables on top.  Sprinkle with french fried onions and top with dressing.
