Rosemary's Taco Salad
"A simple side dish to bring to a picnic or pot luck. This one's always a crowd pleaser and rarely do we get to bring any home with us!
We find this is best when assembled fresh. If you wish to make ahead of time and assemble later, after the beef cools place in a container. Place the veggies and cheese in a separate container and bring along a bag of Doritos and a bottle of dressing. Warm the beef and assemble the salad."

Awesome! I did add some black olives & avocado to make it more of a meal than side dish, otherwise everything the same. I doubled the beef/taco seasoning and saved half of that to make it the next day, too. I made this a few weeks ago and my husband can't stop talking about it. We'll be having it again real soon. -
Very sweet taco salad! Careful with the dressing otherwise the lettuce and Doritos get soggy and it's too sweet. I used 1lb of ground beef. Next time I won't crush the Doritos so finely. Will definitely make again! -
Taco salads are always a good crowd-pleaser and everyone seems to have their own version. The Catalina dressing (I used light) in this salad gives it a great tanginess. I added chopped onions and I think I'd also add some fresh cilantro next time. Thanx for sharing your version. -
This was very good. The only change I made was adding a little more cheese. Thanks for posting. Prepared for PAC Spring 2009. -

From the heart of Steeler Country, I have fun feeding family (2 young boys) and friends. Lots and lots of friends during the football season (I did mention Steeler Country right?).

I am partial to grilling and smoking (probably partly because it's an excuse to be outside) but enjoy all cooking except pastries and breads (I'm an expert in the art of making hockey pucks).
I am an avid angler (trout mostly). I follow Steelers football and Penguins hockey religiously. The Pirates have sucked since I was a kid so baseball doesn't get any love in this family. :)
I work as a technical consultant for a software company and my wife is a stay at home Mom.
I only review recipes I like, so yes, I give out a disproportionate number of 5 star reviews. I don't see the value in bashing a recipe that just doesn't suit my taste. It doesn't benefit anyone.
Thanks for checking out my AM page!
