Notes
After years of making this type of salad, I have veered from the original recipe. I
typically use half the meat and double the beans. The 1000 Island dressing is delicious in
this recipe but other dressings, bottled and homemade, may be substituted. Try Ranch
dressing or Honey Mustard. I serve this at room temperature or cold, not hot. The lettuce
and chips are added right before serving.
