Expert Tips!

  • If you'd like to make this ahead of time simply layer the salad. First layer is the ground beef, then the tomatoes and onions form layer two. Sprinkle the lettuce on top of that and then the cheese. Leave off the Doritos until serving time. When it's time to serve mix in chips and dressing and then toss to combine.
  • Not a fan of Catalina dressing? Use Ranch, French or any other dressing you'd love.
  • If you are not going to enjoy this all at one time simply take out the amount you'd like, top with chips and dressing then store the rest of the salad in an airtight container in the fridge.
  • Iceberg is the classic lettuce used in this salad, but you can use romaine or mixed greens too.
  • Top with your favorite Taco toppings like diced avocado, fresh cilantro etc.
