No matter how much you love classic BBQ dishes, at some point you want a little something different, especially after a whole summer of grilling and cooking the hits. Instead of a completely new dish, this recipe takes a classic deli salad and gives it a zesty, Southwest twist. It has favorite ingredients you find in a backyard cookout like corn, chicken and potatoes and combines it into one delicious dish you can serve as a side or main.
