    This Meal Plan’s Secret To Success

    Everyone loves a Catalina Taco Salad! And there is nothing easier to whip up and more satisfying than this retro dinner salad after a couple of days of heavy holiday meals and leftovers.

Delicious, creamy, and oh-so savory, your family won’t even recognize that leftover turkey and you will have efficiently (and deliciously!) used all of the holiday bird!
