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.
