Southwest Chopped Chicken Salad

I got this recipe off  pinterest and it is a really yummy salad. The dressing is really good and healthier since it has Greek yogurt in it. There is a lot of sustenance to this salad and can stand alone for a meal.

2 cups shredded chicken
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 can black beans, rinsed
1 can sweet yellow corn
2 Roma tomatoes, diced
4 green onions, sliced
1 head ice berg lettuce, washed and chopped
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
2 ripe avocados, diced
1 cup crushed tortilla chips

dressing:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2/3 cup Greek yogurt
1 tbsp ranch seasoning
1 tbsp taco seasoning

In a large bowl, combine all salad ingredients together, excluding the tortilla chips. 
In a small bowl stir all dressing ingredients together. Pour dressing over salad, starting with about half of the dressing. Toss to combine, then gradually add more dressing until it is dressed to your liking. Top with tortilla chips. Enjoy!
