I made this salad to go with some burgers and it was hit with my family. The only thing I did differently was I used Nacho Doritos in place of thecorn chips. We loved it. Thank you for sharng.

Excellent! I mix together everything (just before serving) EXCEPT the Fritos and ground beef. I serve them on the side, as well as refried beans. Then we build our own salads- but since there's so much good stuff in with the lettuce (I added corn, too)- my hubby gets a lot more greens! :)

The four of us thought this salad was way too sweet, and sort of soggy tasting. Was quick to throw together, but won't be making it again.

I thought this was very tasty. My husband really enjoyed it, and it was so easy to make. I just did exactly what the recipe called for, except I added a couple more green onions.
