Doritos® Taco Salad

Rating: Unrated

I love this dish! It reminds me of potlucks and summertime. It's full of every texture--warm, cool, crisp, soft, crunchy. It has a touch of sweetness and tanginess from the dressing, and the lovely nacho cheese flavor from the chips, with the taco-seasoned meat. It all works together deliciously and is a quick and easy meal that's ready to go anytime.

I’ve been making this summer salad for years, long before someone decided to put it on All Recipes. It’s truly delicious and all the flavors do go well together. The only difference between mine and this recipe is that I use a cano of Ranch Style Beans(rinsed) instead of red kidney beans. Just because the Ranch Style Beans add a whole other level of flavor to the salad. I absolutely love this salad! Yummy! Read More

This recipe I’ve made for years. It’s a family favorite in my home especially during the summer months. Catalina just gives it that little amount of zest. I have tried using different dressings as well however, for my family it’s Catalina hands down. Read More
