Frito Taco Salad
That makes this Frito Taco Salad one of my favorite salads. Fritos become just a little bit healthier when they get thrown in a salad, right? Ok….maybe not, but I can still pretend.
This easy salad finds its way on the table at many of our get togethers. Although I’ve always loved eating it, I’ve only recently started making it more. The kids are old enough to enjoy it now, so that makes it a great side dish, and in some cases, a perfect main dish!
To make this salad, you’ll cut the tomatoes and onions ahead of time and allow them to marinate in the French dressing mixture for a few hours. Right before serving time, add the kidney beans and cheese to some cut up lettuce. Then add the tomato, onion and dressing mixture. Put the crushed Fritos in right at the last minute. This salad is best served right after mixing, so only make as much as you’ll eat at one time.
Serve up this salad to your family this upcoming picnic season!
