Southwest Salad with Garlic Lime Dressing

Doritos is a favorite chip of my family, but we do not have them very often. But if a recipe calls for them, well of course I need to buy them to make the recipe. Plus Doritos always seem to make a great recipe even better, like my Taco Salad. It tastes great, but the Doritos make it taste even better. Same goes for this salad, it tastes great, but the Doritos make it taste even better.
