Catalina 'Taco' Salad

Submitted by Narshmellow

"When is a taco salad not a taco salad? Hamburger, tortilla chips, onion, lettuce and cheese. But it's the dressing that makes this amazing! I got this recipe from my parents who got it from my aunt who got it from a friend and so on. It is an amazing change from a regular taco salad!"

This has been a family favorite for years. We use red onion and add in tomatoes, whole pitted olives, kidney beans and avocados and use Frito corn chips. Mmmmm a wonderful summer salad!

Add a diced tomato and it's the recipe my best friend gave me years ago. We love it!
