Dorrito Salad | Momzoo

Today’s Salad is a little different.

When I first saw this salad at a baby shower I thought it looked really sick. I wouldn’t have even tried it, but the lady that made it was right beside me in the food line so I felt I needed to take some. When I did try it I was pleasantly surprised at how yummy it was. This salad has become one of my families favorite summer meals.

Doritos Salad:

Lettuce

1 pound Ground beef, browned

Large can of chopped tomatoes, drained

1 can pinto beans, drained

1 can kidney beans, drained

1 can of corn, drained

sliced Olives

1 1/2 cup shredded cheese

crushed Doritos Chips

Catalina Dressing

(instead of canned beans I used these)

While compiling all your ingredients into a big bowl, find an obliging child to crush the Doritos, they will love doing it.

Mix everything together except the chips, dressing and lettuce.

Right before serving add the chips…

and dressing

Mix well.

Serve on top of lettuce.

So, I was just planning my menu for next week and I had one more day to fill. I wanted something light and easy but was not coming up with anything that sounded appealing. Than I remembered you were posting salads this week. I think we are going to try the Bowtie pasta one. Thanks!

You are right, this does not look too appealing to the eye but when you look at the ingredients, it does sound good.

This is a family favorite. All our kids will eat it. They want seconds and we have to force them to have the greens with it. 🙂

I bet my family would like this one too.
Have a great Easter Weekend!!
*hugs*

My mom has always made taco salad with Doritos 🙂

A favotie at our house also.Altough I have never made it with corn. My oldest daughter had this at girl scout camp. The fun part was adding the ingredients to a mini bag of doritos and the girls ate their salad out of their own bags. We serve this now at their birthdays and in the summer- easy clean up: )

Hi, this is Charlotte Later’s sister Brenda…she linked me to your site and I just made this salad for dinner tonight. It was FABULOUS! Thanks for the tip at the top about how you thought it looked gross at first because my husband thought the same thing but then was willing to try it.
