With the summer heat upon us no one wants to cook a hot meal in the oven, so today I would like to share with you a delicious Black Bean and Doritos Salad recipe that’s great for the hot summer days.
I remember my mother making a similar salad when I was younger, but haven’t had it since, until my daughter starting telling me that I needed to try this salad recipe.
My mother’s version had kidney beans in it, and it was good but I’m just not a big fan of kidney beans. My daughter’s version has ground beef with taco seasoning. Which I’m sure is really delicious as well, but we are trying to not eat as much red meat.
Tweet ThisI therefore made my own version using black beans that I made in my new Ninja Slow Cooker (affiliate) that the hubby bought for me.
One of the best things about this salad is I get my chips fix. YUM!!!

Thank you Lynn! It is perfect for the hot summer months. I chopped up a head of lettuce so I can make it up daily to take to work with me for the week. I like it that much. LOL
Sounds delicious and refreshing. Will have to make this when I get back from Haven.
It is delish Carol! Hoping some day I can go, and can’t wait to hear all about it. Have fun at Haven!
Can’t wait to try your salad Linda – it looks fabulous!
Thanks Sarah! Let be know how you like it.
Hi Linda, I would never have thought to add Doritos to a salad, but why not? I add croutons, pasta and even noodles. It’s certainly one I would make and I quite fancy it with ground beef.

Hi Debbie! I love it with the chips. I get my chip fix and it feels some what healthy because I’m eating a salad. It is good with ground beef as well.
Linda, this is right up my alley! I love fresh in the summer, and this looks like a great mix of goodness. Throw in the tortilla chips or doritos and you’ve got a great snack. And Catalina is a great dressing. It has incredible flavor and it’s gluten free! Yeah!
Thanks Nikki! I love salas and this is soooo good. I’ve been taking it in my lunch for work. I didn’t know Catalina dressing was gluten free.
Years ago my mom found a recipe like this using Fritos and Western French (similar to Catalina) dressing. Ours also adds black olives, green peppers and onions. I’ve never thought about Doritos though.
Oh that sounds delicious! I love olives, peppers, and onion. I think I will add that next time as well. The doritos are a little extra treat.
