Preparation:
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef or turkey. Remove from heat and drain off any fat and discard. Stir in the Taco Seasoning Mix and set aside to cool.
In a small bowl, gently toss the diced avocado with the lemon juice to prevent browning; set aside.
In a large bowl, toss together the onion, kidney beans, cheese, tomatoes, corn, lettuce, and cooled ground meat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
When ready to serve, add the avocados and crushed Doritos chips to the salad greens. Toss the salad with the Catalina Salad Dressing (or dressing of your choice). NOTE: Go light on the dressing, as a little goes a long way. Adding the ingredients too soon will cause your salad to go soggy!
Serves many.
This pasta salad recipe was always a summertime comfort food favorite of myself and my youngest daughter. We used to make a large bowl and throw in all our favorite salad goodies and eat it for dinner for a couple of nights. You don't have to use all the exact ingredients listed below. Get creative and add in any of your favorite salad items. This pasta salad is also a great dish for a summer outing or a potluck.

Picnic Pasta Salad Recipe:
Recipe Type: Pasta, Salads and Salad Dressings
Yields: serves many
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 35 min
Ingredients:
1 (16-ounce) package pasta, your choice (such as bowtie, corkscrew, penne, or rotini)
Grape (small) tomatoes, cut in half
Cooked ham, cubed
Hard Salami, sliced in strips
Roasted red peppers, sliced in small strips
Fresh asparagus
Fresh snap peas or snow peas, ends trimmed off
Marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped into smaller pieces
Green olives, sliced
Carrots, shredded
Water chestnuts, sliced
Havarti cheese, cubed
Smoked cheddar cheese, cubed
Salad Dressing (see recipe below)
Preparation:
Cook pasta according to package directions. Learn How To Cook Pasta Properly. When pasta is done, drain and rinse with cold water; draining well before using. Transfer drained pasta into a large serving bowl and set aside.
In a pan of boiling water, blanch the asparagus and peas for about 2 to 3 minutes or until the peas turn bright green. Remove from heat and transfer to an ice water bath until cool, and then drain in a colander. Chop the asparagus and snap/snow peas into bite-size pieces.
Toss together the pasta and all the prepared salad ingredient; set aside.
Prepare the Salad Dressing of your choice (see below). Toss the prepared salad dressing with the pasta salad.
Always serve pasta salads at room temperature so the flavors will really shine. If you must refrigerate the salad, make sure to return it to room temperature before serving. The dressing usually soaks into the pasta when store. So, if serving later, you may need to add a little extra salad dressing right before serving.
Serves many.
Oil and Vinegar Salad Dressing:
If you want an easy store-bought dressing, I recommend Paul Newman's Olive Oil and Vinegar Dressing for a nice mild flavor that does not overpower the salad. Otherwise you can use this delicious recipe below using 3 parts oil and 1 part vinegar if you would like to make your own dressing. Also check out Linda's Balsamic Vinaigrette.
2/4 cups olive oil (or oil of your choice)
1/4 white wine vinegar
Coarse salt and coarsely-ground black pepper to taste
Place the olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper in the bowl of your blender. Process until fully combined. Let stand for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Whisk together right before serving.
