How To Make Doritos Cool Ranch Taco Salad

It’s a really easy salad to make.  Really.  You start by placing a layer of crushed Cool Ranch Doritos on a plate.  (I use some really nifty bowls that are perfect for salads.)

You can either crush the chips directly on the plate or you can crush them in the bag.

Next, the following ingredients top the chips:

• chopped or shredded lettuce
• chopped cucumbers
• shredded cheese
• ground beef that has been seasoned with taco seasoning
• chopped tomatoes
• olives
• Ranch dressing

I like to add one more layer of crunch by adding a few more crushed Doritos to the top after I have drizzled Ranch dressing on top.
