You do not want to add your meat to the veggies until it\u2019s totally cool<br \/>\nWash and chop lettuce and place in your serving bowl<br \/>\nChop onion and place in your serving bowl<br \/>\nOnce the meat is totally cooled add it to your veggies and mix with the Catalina dressing<br \/>\nAdd your shredded cheese<br \/>\nAdd your tomatoes<br \/>\nMix everything together<\/p>\n<p>Serve with Fritos. You can put your Fritos in the mix but they will become soggy after a while. Because this is so large I let everyone add the Fritos at the time of serving so they can have as many or as few as they want and it will store better without the Fritos.<\/p>\n<p>If I\u2019m not making this for a large crowd I will also omit the tomatoes and put them in at the time of serving because I do not like tomatoes once they have been refrigerated.<\/p>\n<p>My serving dish is actually a plastic cake plate that will lock together with the bottom.
