Esthers Taco Salad

This salad seems to be a favorite.  I have been serving it for 36 or more years.  Every time we have a family gathering they ask me to fix it, so here goes and enjoy.

l head of lettuce chopped finely
4 tomatoes chopped
2 cans of kidney beans (dark or light). I put in a strainer and rinse
1 red onion or any sweet onion like Vi dahlia,  finely chopped
2 lb shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 medium bag of  Nacho Cheese Doritos, crushed
1 medium bottle of Honey Catalina or regular Catalina Dressing (Honey Catalina makes it a little sweeter tasting)

I usually put the above items except cheese and Doritos in separate qt bags lettuce in gallon bag  When I get to picnic or dinner I have everything ready.

Put half of all  items into a big bowl.  Stir with 1/ 2 bottle of dressing.  Mix together well; add the other 1/2 of the ingredients stir again.  I usually finish off with a little more cheese on top and it is ready.
