MY *FAVORITE* SOUTHWEST SALAD WITH GARLIC LIME DRESSING & DORITOS!

I'm just going to stop saying everything is delicious because I sound like a broken record, but MAN this is DELICIOUS!!! The salad is perfect and light for a summer meal, the dressing is divine! I like to toss the lettuce with the dressing fist and then place everything else on top. SO-GOOD!
