1 lb. hamburger meat
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1/4 c. chopped onion
1 can kidney beans, brown beans or ranch style beans, drained
1 head lettuce, chopped
3 fresh tomatoes, chopped
1 c. grated Cheddar cheese
1/2 lg. bag Doritos, crushed
Chopped eggs or Avocado, optional

Saute hamburger with salt, pepper and onion. Drain well and mix with beans. In another bowl combine lettuce tomatoes, Cheddar cheese, Doritos and chopped eggs or Avocado (optional). Mix with hamburger mixture and put in a serving bowl.

Combine 1 cup mayonnaise and 1 cup buttermilk (or use a bottled creamy Italian dressing); pour over the salad and toss lightly. Serve with a basket of Doritos.

The hamburger can be omitted if you want to use this dish strictly as a salad. Ann Hayes adds drained beans to the lettuce mixture, pours over the dressing and her salad is complete.
