Re: (...)
I have one last recipe I want to add to the B.B. & Corn cookbook - a chef's salad adding black beans and corn.
would love to hear what you (collective 'you') put in yours and the dressing you most prefer. I just want your favorites no new ones not tried.
The book is just calling out for this recipe, so I do want to add it.
Thanks.

B.B. & Corn cookbook -
Now I may have missed this, but what is B.B. & Corn cookbook? What does that stand for?

Laura, it's her Black Beans and Corn cookbook. All the recipes have one or both of these ingredients.
Jean, I really like the dressing that came with this Brown Derby Salad Recipe...I now know is a Cobb Salad, thanks to you guys. Then there's the Greek Chicken and Salad Recipe...I now keep that dressing in the fridge for regular use.

Wow - I haven't had a Chef's Salad in sooooo long. I used to have them for lunch every day when I was low-carbing. There was always lettuces, onion, tomatoes, olives, ham &/or turkey, red peppers, and any other veg. handy. Always Thousand Island dressing. I think black beans would be great in a Chef's!!!

Interesting - I'm so glad I mentioned this to you all. I do have a couple of French dressing recipes in "the pantry" section, plus a couple of vinaigrettes and a 1,000 Island, so I'd be covered there (without stealing someone's recipe ). I agree Sharon, I think black beans and corn are a natural for this salad. Sorry, Laura, I'm so used to thinking "B.B. & Corn" in my mind and notes - doesn't help someone not in my mind, huh? will play with this tomorrow and thanks everyone - ideas are copied.

i'm a bit late, but I love Chef Salad. I've had variations of it for lunch the last 4 days. To me, the basics are iceberg lettuce, cubed turkey/ham/pork, grated cheese, and any veg I have. Dressing is usually house made Ranch or Thousand Island. I often add corn if I'm using leftover pork, so I think the addition of black beans would be great. Add some Manchego or Cotilla (sp) cheese. Sounds like a great meal to me.
Practice safe lunch. Use a condiment.

Thanks Lorraine - I'm playing with this tonight. Hadn't thought of Ranch with it.
