Rockin' Ranch Slaw

You know how I won First Place in the Lindsay Olive Cooking Contest at the Fair last month well I was originally going to enter the Hidden Valley Ranch sponsored contest. I won that contest a few years back with Artichoke Squares, a yummy quiche like dish. This was my tester recipe for this year's contest. It's yummy. It's an adaptation on my Turkey Slaw recipe if you've made that one before you'll love this. It's a great one for potlucks. A complete meal full of great stuff and weight loss surgery friendly of course...

Toast almonds in a dry pan for a few minutes. Set aside to cool and crisp up. In a large bowl combine turkey, slaw mixes, beans, corn, pepper, onions, cheese, raisins and almonds.
