I love this salad! Remember Catalina Dressing? Well, it’s just what you need to complement all the other ingredients. You can use ground beef, ground turkey, or ground chicken for the meat, sautéed with a packet of taco seasoning. You could also add fresh jalapeños and red, green, or yellow bell peppers.
Recipe
1 lb. ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning mix
1 head iceberg lettuce, broken up
4 green onions, chopped
1 can red kidney beans, drained
1 avocado, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
tobasco sauce, a few dashes
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 c. grated cheddar cheese
3/4 c. chopped black olives
2 hard boiled eggs, chopped
1 small bottle Catalina Dressing
1 c. sour cream, for garnish
1 bag taco chips or Doritos
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the ground beef with the packet of taco seasoning. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl add the rest of the ingredients, from the lettuce to the hard boiled eggs. When the ground beef has cooled, add to the bowl along with half the Catalina dressing, and mix well. Add more dressing as needed.
When ready to serve, crunch up the taco chips and mix into the salad. Top each serving with a dollop of sour cream, if desired. Serve more chips on the side.
