Cold Taco Salad

Great recipe for a hot day. The key is to add the dressing and Doritos right before serving. Some prefer to have the salad dry with the dressing on the side. Enjoy!

2 avocados, mashed
1 bottle catalina dressing (I use light)

8 cups chopped lettuce
2 large tomatoes, diced
1 medium red onion, diced
1 large red or orange pepper, diced
2 cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1 pound cooked beef with taco seasoning, cooled
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
2 cups crushed Doritos, more or less to your liking

1. In a small bowl, stir avocados and dressing until blended. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine vegetables, beans, meat and cheese, if desired.
3. Add dressing and toss until coated.
4. Stir in Doritos and serve immediately.
