This week I am going to give you some yummy salad recipes. If you aren’t hosting a 4th of July barbecue, you are probably going to receive an invite to one. So if you are invited and asked to bring a salad, hopefully you’ll find one from these recipes to take. Then on Friday, I’ll have a breakfast recipe for ya in case you want to celebrate with breakfast and just want something a little special. This Tex-Mex Frito salad recipe is one I made for my hubby on father’s Day and it was a hit!
We are starting off with my favorite salad of the group I am sharing this week. Now last year I shared a Frito salad with ya. This year I have another one for ya. You make both of these salads using chili cheese Fritos. This one is easy and tasty, plus it’s pretty healthy if you don’t consider the Fritos. You have a mixture of beans, peppers, celery, olives, tomatoes, green onion, cheese, and those chili cheese Fritos chips. Then it is all coated with some Catalina dressing. This Tex-Mex Frito Salad is my new fav salad!

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the beans, tomatoes, olives, pepper, green onion and celery. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
