4.5 stars. The Catalina was a good twist! I added a little more seasoning. It was pretty good and simple!

I like most Kraft recipes, but I didn't enjoy this one much. I thought that the catalina dressing was too sweet for the rest of the ingredients. Probably will not make this one again :(

Very tasty! Used turkey breast for a bit healthier option.

I have been making "taco salad" with catalina dressing for 25-30 years. We mix it all together and add salsa and sourcream to the top. Yummy!

This is an excellent way to get hubby & son to eat veggies and the guys like it spicier so after I take my salad out I add the salsa and hot sauce for their palates... Everyone young & old loves this salad. Instead of plain tortilla chips I have used crushed nacho or cool ranch chips and never have there been leftovers.
