BBQ Chicken Salad

This salad is heaven on earth for so many reasons.  I LOVE Southwestern ingredients.  I know that we Americans eat way too much corn, but black beans, corn and tomatoes must have been destined to be served together.  They are the perfect trinity.  Pure bliss.  I usually grill chicken to add to this recipe, but I decided to cut down the time involved and added Tyson's Grilled and Ready Oven Roasted Diced Chicken Breast  instead.  I don't like serving a lot of packaged foods, but these chicken strips are 98% fat free and, even better, have no preservatives.  That's a short cut I can feel good about.  Mixing BBQ sauce and Ranch dressing together is a little sinful, but it definitely kicks this recipe "up a notch."
