Taco Salad with Catalina Dressing and Doritos Recipe
One of the most iconic salad recipes from my childhood is a Taco salad made with Catalina dressing and Doritos. This Doritos Taco Salad recipe just screams 1980 but it's still the perfect easy meal for a week-night yet it's special enough to serve at a family gathering. A crowd favorite main dish, delicious salad, that always gets rave reviews!
Over medium heat in a large skillet, cook the ground beef until not longer pink. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Drain off excess grease (fat) and set aside to cool.
In one large bowl (or individual dishes, if desired) combine all salad ingredients; lettuce, olives, tomatoes, onions, cheese, beans, beef and crumbled chips. Mix well with dressing.
Enjoy immediately.
Notes
This recipe is extremely flexible. Omit/add ingredients to suit your taste. You can make this taco salad ahead of time, leaving the dressing and chips on the side. Store your pre-made salad in an airtight container in the fridge for an easy meal prep or lunch to go!
