A nostalgic 1980s Midwest salad with taco-seasoned beef, Catalina dressing, and Nacho Cheese Doritos. Perfect for potlucks and weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (or turkey)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 head iceberg lettuce, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup red onion, diced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup Catalina dressing
  • 1 bag Nacho Cheese Doritos, crushed

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add taco seasoning and water as directed on the packet. Simmer for 5 minutes, then let cool.
  3. In a large bowl, layer lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, and cheese.
  4. Top with the cooled taco meat and drizzle with Catalina dressing.
  5. Add crushed Doritos just before serving to keep them crunchy.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, use ground turkey instead of beef.
  • To avoid sogginess, store the salad and Doritos separately until ready to serve.
