Steps

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.

This is my favorite kind of summer salad. Thanks! I do a similar salad and never get tired of it. For the dressing I start with ranch dressing and slowly add Sriracha sauce to taste. It gives the salad an awesome kick!
