• Add Catalina dressing to the lettuce mix and toss well

Notes: Kurt requested this recipe, which Mom used to make. No one can find the original, but Beverly remembers it too. She gave me the recipe as she remembers it. She stressed that the salad should be cold and the meat and beans hot. The Catalina dressing only goes on the salad, then you add the other things just before serving.
Optional per me…
• I added a package of taco seasoning mix in the ground beef
• Either put the diced avocados in right before you are ready to add the meat, or put lemon or lime juice on the avocado to keep them from getting brown.
• I remove the seeds from the tomatoes before dicing them
