Copycat Recipe: Bob Evans Wildfire Salad

If you have ever eaten a Wildfire Salad from Bob Evans Restaurant, then you know how good the Southwest flavor is when it is mixed in a salad.

With this recipe, I went straight to the person who would know…the Manager. I asked him what the dressing was that was on the salad and he surprised me by telling me what the ‘secret' ingredient is.

Try making this for your family and look at the savings at the end. BTW, I lost a few pounds on this a few years ago, by just eating one of these every night for about 2 weeks.

This will yield 4 giant salads.  It is a complete meal.

Bob Evans Wildfire Salad Ingredients

• 1 Head of Lettuce (chopped)
• 1 can, Whole Kernal Corn (drained)
• 1 can, Black Beans (rinsed and drain)
• 1 small bag, Torilla Chips

• 2 Roma Tomatoes (chopped)
• 1 small bag, Tyson frozen Breast Tenders (thawed and oven baked)
• 1 bottle, Bob Evans Wildfire Dressing
• 1 bottle, Marzetti Ranch Dressing
  It has to be Marzetti Ranch, other Ranch dressing will give a different flavor. This is the Secret Ingredient!

Preparation Directions

1. Divide the lettuce into 4 serving bowls.  Add 2 tablespoons of whole kernal corn over the lettuce, and 2 tablespoons of drained black beans over the corn.
2. Add crushed tortilla chips on top of the lettuce, corn and beans.
