Corn Salad

Mix together to taste:
drained canned corn (I used 4 lbs of Walmarts Great Value Brand frozen corn)
sliced green onions (I minced some onion)
green pepper, chopped
carrots, coarsely shredded
celery, chopped
black beans
green and/or black olives chopped

Dressing:1/2 c mayo and 1 pkg ranch buttermilk dressing mix (I used this much for my salad)

Suggested topping: Chili flavored corn chips or tortilla chips just before serving
I was told this salad will keep for several days without the chips added.
