Mexican Salad – this salad isn’t just a salad it is a meal. Ground beef, cheese, nacho chips, are just a few of the ingredients in this special salad.

I make this when we have a lot of friends over. It makes a lot and there’s never any leftovers!  This is a hearty Taco Salad that everyone will enjoy.

1 head of lettuce, chopped
1 pound ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 can red kidney beans, drained
1 jar Pace Picante Salsa
2 tomatoes, chopped
2 cups grated cheese
1 small package nacho chips, broken
Dressing:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
5 tbsp sugar
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 small jar Catalina Dressing (optional)

Brown onion and ground beef and drain. Add kidney beans and set aside to cool.
In a separate bowl, mix salsa and mayonnaise, salt and pepper and set aside. Place chopped lettuce in a large bowl. Add chopped tomatoes, cheese and beef mixture. Top with chips. Pour salsa mixture over top and mix well. After serving place small amount of Catalina Dressing on top and mix well.

I usually make my dressing while the onion and beef are cooking and set it aside. I do not add the Catalina Dressing to my other dressing as not everyone likes it. Also, do not add the chips until ready to serve.

Thanks to JTill0915 for this salad recipe.
