This is great, cool & tasty salad for the summer, easy to bring to a cookout. Just wait until you're there to add the Dorito chips so they don't get soggy!

1 head iceberg lettuce, torn into pieces
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix (such as mccormick's, or any brand)
1 (14 ounce) can of sliced black olives, drained
4 tomatoes, cut up
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or 2 cups monterey jack cheese
2 (8 ounce) bottles catalina dressing
1 (15 ounce) bag of dorito's nacho chips, hand crushed. (not sure on the actual ounces, the large party size bag)
Directions:
1. Boil chicken breasts until done, approx 20 minutes, cool and shred chicken.
2. Mix together the taco seasoning mix with the oil, water and lemon juice in a bowl, add chicken and marinade for 30 minutes. Drain when done.
