BB's Fantastic Salad

Submitted By: Lisa aka Rattie

Ingredients:

1 head of lettuce, chopped

1 regular can of english/sweet peas, warmed

1 large or 2 small cans mushroom pieces and stems (opt.)

boneless skinless chicken breasts, chunked up, browned/cooked

1 bag of tri-color pasta, cooked/drained

1 big bottle of ranch dressing

bacon bits/salad topping

in REALLY large bowl, combine all ingredients except bacon bits toss, making sure everything is well coated in dressing (i like it best with the chicken, peas and pasta still warm, but can be served cold)top individual servings with bacon bits or salad topping as desired

I've never experimented with this, but i'm sure you could use italian dressing as well.. or bleu cheese, or whatever... (i dunno about thousand island or catalina....)
