Wonderful...made this for our lunch and for our company and what an easy, quick and tasty salad. I used homemade catalina dressing, added some red onion slivered and followed the rest of the instructions. Thank you for posting. Made for Aussie/NZ Recipe tag game.

What's not to love about this recipe? It makes a great taco salad. I substituted ranch dressing for catalina and we just loved it! Thanks for posting. Made for Aussie recipe swap.

Easy and yummy too! I used some lettuce from the garden and had some already cooked pinto beans so used them. I enjoyed with the crisp chips and dressing. Thanks! Made for Newest Zaar Tag.
