ldyroper - yup, it does use Catalina or French dressing. Here's the recipe.
Catalina Salad
1 lb hamburger browned and drained
1 onion, cooked with hamburger
1 lb grated cheddar cheese
1 small can of chopped olives, drained
1 can of kidney or black beans, drained
1 head of iceburg lettuce, shredded
1 10 oz bag of Fritto's or other tortilla style chips
1 bottle Catalina or French dressing
Put hamburger, onion mixture in a large bowl, add cheese and olives and mix well. Add lettuce and beans and mix well. Add dressing and Fritto's and mix well.
I haven't made this yet, but they made it on the show I watched and they all said it was good. It's kind of like a taco salad but without seasoning the hamburger. I'm going to make it tomorrow, I bought some low carb French dressing.
I to miss the Pacific Northwest! I grew up in Silverdale, Washington and I love that area!
Minimum wage is under $6 here. The cost of living is a lot lower than in Washington. Our mortgage payment is around $800.

It sounds really good. I think I will make that for supper tomorrow. I have all the ingredients but the chips. Kids ate those the other day.
Hopefully, they won't be available all at once. Otherwise I will be doing some heavy reading. I made some giant meatballs with spaghetti sauce for supper tonight. That way it could go with or without spaghetti. Pretty much just trying to use things we have without making another trip to the store. Other than that, we walked the dogs and got our mail.(our driveway is 1/4 mile and downhill). It was a long and chilly walk only to discover it was all junk mail.
Oh, well. -Wore myself and the dogs out anyway. Take care and everyone stay warm!
Go Chargers!!!
