Great Salad Recipe - My Rendition of BHG Succotash Salad

Howdy Sweet Friends,

How are you doing this week?

Well, I hope................

I couldn't sleep........neck problems from

yard work again!!  lol  So decided I might

as well make myself useful.

Don't know about you, but as the temperatures
are warming up considerably, I love finding
new recipes that help keep my kitchen cool.

So thought I would post my rendition of a 

lovely salad I saw on a BHG email I received

last week and told you if I made it and liked it,
 I would share it with you.  so I did make it,
  and we did like it.

So here is a link to their recipe.

Loved the picture on their recipe and how it was
 made on a platter, thought the presentation was 

wonderful, but as I was thinking about it....

 didn't think it was practical for us, so I just

 did a plate for each of us,  since there is 

just 2 of us.  Also changed some things in

the recipe as well.  The first time I made

it I used their buttermilk avocado dressing,

and we enjoyed it,  but the 2nd time I used

Ken's steak house dressing in ranch flavor an
 liked it better.  Was thinking ranch mixed 
with some avocado might be great, so just 
added the avocado to the salad instead.
Anyway here is my easier.....
at least I think so.... rendition of it.

Ingredients

1 head of Butter lettuce
you will probably only need half the head,
so you will have some left to do it again! 

!/4  to 1/2 a bag of frozen niblets yellow corn, 

cooked as package directs, then cooled.

1/2 a bag of frozen green peas, thawed and

uncooked (know it sounds terrible but you will 

see how good they are, and lima beans 
somehow just didn't sound good to me.  lol

4 slices of Hormel Bacon, crisp-cooked and

crumbled (the one with no nitrites or nitrates) 

 It is delicious, I promise!  (I can only find it

at Walmart or Target supercenter)

Of course, you can use any bacon!  lol

Red onion,  I just sliced them and then 

quartered the slices.  Add as lil or as

much as you desire.

1 avocado, seeded, peeled and sliced

1/2 on each salad

1/4 - 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese

(or as much or as little as you prefer)
Just not into blue or feta cheese myself  lol

Grilled or Rotisserie Chicken
(again your desired amount)

Ken's Steak House Dressing - Ranch flavor

Your desired amount.

This recipe should make 2 plates of salad.

Directions

Arrange on each plate in the order I have the

 ingredients listed.  I just used a tomato for

a garnish,  but this salad could easily taste

great with tomatoes too,  next time I might

just add tomatoes and black olives.

If you don't see any chicken in this pic, that is because I made it for
 lunch to go with something else and left the chicken off, this time.



Enjoy!!.........think you are gonna love it,
I certainly did.........
