Catalina Salad

Whenever I make Taco Salad, I top it with Doritos for some crunch. For the dressing I use either a combination of sour cream and salsa or taco sauce or a combination of thousand island dressing and taco sauce. When I can across this version that used Fritos and Catalina dressing, I was intrigued to try it.

I like the Fritos on this salad, they remind me of tortilla chips and I enjoyed the saltiness they added to the salad. The Catalina dressing adds a different flavor to the salad than I am used to, it is not a salad dressing I buy. But I enjoy the flavor it adds. If you are one of those people that loves Catalina dressing, than this salad if for you!
