Frito Salad

A quick and easy salad packed with lots of crunch and flavor

2 - 3 green peppers

3 - 4 medium -sized tomatoes

1 red onion

1 can kidney beans

1 - 2 cups grated colby-jack cheese

1 bag Fritos corn chips

1 bottle Kraft Classic Catalina dressing

Directions:

1.  Chop up peppers, tomatoes, and onion and put in a large salad bowl.  

2. Drain and rinse kidney beans, then add them to the bowl.  Gently stir.  

3. Immediately before serving - add cheese, a couple handfuls of Fritos, and about half the bottle of dressing.  Toss to coat and serve.   

NOTE:  Once you've added the cheese, chips and dressing, the salad does not keep well.  To make ahead of time - prepare through step 2, cover and keep it in the fridge until ready to serve.
