6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
3 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and crumbled
2 roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 ripe avocado, cubed (or guacamole)
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained (or 1 1/2 cups fresh beans)

1 cup grated cheddar and/or monterey jack cheese
Favorite ranch and/or honey mustard dressing, to taste

Pile the lettuce into a shallow serving bowl. Arrange the chicken, bacon, eggs, tomatoes, avocado, beans, corn, and cheese in thin rows over the lettuce. Season with salt and pepper over the ingredients.
Serve with sides of ranch dressing, honey mustard, and barbecue sauce. For easier serving (but less visual appeal), you can toss the salad with an equal amount ranch and barbecue sauce.
