My kids cheer when I say I am making this salad. None of us like tomatoes so we skipped them. Instead of using a whole bottle of dressing ( I use the Light Catalina), I coat each serving with the dressing and top with bean mixture. I then garnish with the fancy thinly sliced multi-colored chips. Each to serve as leftovers without getting soggy.

This has always been one of my favorite recipes. Usually leave out the black beans. Delicious!

I made this for a church potluck and added a can of chick peas and used fresh curd. They LOVED it!

I made this X3 for 30 people and all was gone. They complemented it highly. After adding 2 16 oz catalina and 2 16oz fritos, I decided it was enough so didn't put in as much as called for. I also used a combination of romaine and iceberg lettuce instead of just romaine.

Very good, I was a little scared, because I had never eaten Catalina dressing before. But it was great.

I only had iceberg lettuce and 1 can of ranch-style beans, and I used the suggestions of other reviewers & threw in a small can of drained corn and some diced green onions. My family is not brave enough to let me use catalina dressing (although I love this salad with that dressing) so I used 3-cheese lite ranch instead; also used fritos. Delicious! Served with burgers, but would've made a great main dish salad.

I didn't think this recipe was bad, just not great. I wouldn't make this again, only because the flavor combination was strange to me, and didn't pair particularly well with the tacos I served it with. I would suggest using a little less salad dressing, as I found the mix to be soggy.
