If you like Southwest style dishes, you should try this recipe using the Suddenly Salad Chipotle Ranch mix! I made just a couple of changes - I used Miracle Whip instead of mayo, regular corn, and cheddar instead of jack cheese. Yummmm! With a little more chicken in it, it makes a great main dish.

I made this the other night. I've been buying the Suddenly Salad mixes occasionally for years, so it was nice to see a variation on the basic mix. I added a bit more mayonnaise than was called for, figured with all the extra ingredients, I might want the salad a bit wetter. I've found over the years that these salads tend to dry out a bit in the fridge also, so another reason for a bit of extra mayo. But that was my taste, it can certainly adapt this to your own. Overall, a good recipe. Not something I would make every day, or even every week, but good on occasion. And it makes a LOT !
