  • 0.5 cup Catalina dressing You can also use French dressing.
  • 1 bag Doritos Crushed just before serving to maintain crunch.
Fresh Vegetables

Method
 

Cooking the Beef

  2. Just before serving, crush the Doritos and mix them in with the salad.
  3. Drizzle with Catalina or French dressing and toss to combine.
