Taco Salad with Homemade Catalina Dressing // Salad Madness

When I think of the summer time, I always think of taco salad. Most people like it right. I know I sure do. It's a great summer time salad and you can add anything you like to it. 

I know dorito's aren't good for you but the sweet chili doritos are accidentally vegan and once or twice a year in a salad I think is ok.

I did not have any vegan cheddar shreds for this salad so I just sprinkled on nooch. Wow it is really good. 

Let's get to it. Here is what you will need for the dressing:
1/2 cup organic ketchup
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil - cold pressed
2 tbsp maple syrup
1/2 cup water
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried mustar powder

Toss everything into a mason jar and shake it up. 

Let's get to the salad. Here is what you will need. 
1 1/2 heads of romaine chopped
2 tomatoes chopped
1/2 a cucumber chopped
1 15oz black beans
sweet chili dorito's gently crumbled. a cup or so
nutritional yeast
catalina dressing - I used about 1/2 of the jar.

Mix and toss everything except the nutritional yeast in a large bowl. Serve some up and sprinkle the nutritional yeast on. Enjoy!!
