MEXICAN COBB WITH JALAPENO RANCH DRESSING revisited

I originally posted this recipe for the beach party at Seaside Simplicity.   It was perfect to accommodate Martha’s Jalapeno Poppers. But that was last year and this year I’ve updated it to include taco meat, black beans and marinated tomatoes. The dressing remains the key element of this salad.
