Instructions: Drain as much liquid as possible from each ingredient, and combine in a large serving bowl.

There are two notes on the ingredients: first, use real bacon bits (I use Hormel), those hard crunchy things found at salad bars dont combine well with the softer ingredients. Second, I think that the corn matters, and I use the best I can find (which is usually Trader Joes).

The olives, mild chiles, and dried tomatoes seem to matter much less.
