This popular Mexican salad is a fantastic choice for barbecues, potlucks, or a simple family dinner in warm weather. It combines seasoned ground beef with crisp lettuce, kidney beans, tomatoes, olives, onion, and cheddar cheese. The dish is tossed with a zesty Catalina or Thousand Island dressing. For a vegetarian version, simply replace the meat with a can of black beans. The final touch is a generous handful of crushed tortilla chips added just before serving for maximum crunch.
