This has been a family favorite for close to 30 years. I don't even remember where it came from. I've served it as a side dish for barbecue and grilled chicken, but we often just make a meal out of it. It was requested on Sunday and made a perfect addition to our fried fish dinner.
And, no, it does not photograph well, but I promise it tastes better than it looks. 😂
Catalina Salad
I large hd Iceberg lettuce, torn into pieces
Freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese
Diced tomato
1 can Ranch-style beans
Fritos
Catalina dressing
*And yes, I know that there are no measurements. This is one of those recipies where you just measure with your heart. 😉
This can't really be made ahead of time because the beans and dressing will make the Fritos soggy so only make as much as you think you will eat.
That recipe is a favorite that our friend always makes. Here it’s called Frito Bean Salad.
ReplyDeleteWe had this salad growing up but have never known anyone else that eats it. It’s so good!
ReplyDeleteMom used to make this, and I loved it. I don't know when we switched over to Creamy Italian and Taco Doritos, but seeing this made me want the original!
