    Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly, then chop it into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Add Other Ingredients

    Halve the grape tomatoes and add them to the bowl. Dice the avocado and jicama into small cubes, then add them as well. If using canned corn, drain it; if using frozen corn, thaw it. Add the corn and black beans to the mixing bowl.

    In a separate small bowl, combine the BBQ sauce and ranch dressing. Stir well until fully mixed.
