Hints:
* Add the
crushed taco chips and dressing no sooner than 30 minutes before
serving or the chips will become a bit soggy.
*
If your salad does become soggy after sitting in the
refrigerator
as a leftover, just crunch up some more taco chips and mix in before
serving.
* Western dressing is similar
to a French dressing, except that it is not as sweet. It is tangier and
imparts a nice flavor.
Makes a generous
12 servings.
