Notes
If you’d like to make this ahead of time simply layer the salad. First layer is the ground beef, then the tomatoes. Sprinkle the lettuce on top of that and then the cheese and olives. Leave off the Doritos until serving time. When it’s time to serve mix in chips and dressing and then toss to combine.
You can also top with your favorite Taco toppings like diced avocado, sour cream, chopped green onions, fresh cilantro etc.
