::GIVEAWAY CLOSED:: Congrats to Carol Dziuba (@cdziuba) for this tasty recipe:
Frito Salad:
Ingredients
3 to 4 green peppers, diced
4 stalks, celery, diced
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1 large bottle (16 fl. oz) Catalina Free dressing
1 can sliced olives
4 green onions, diced (tops and most of bottom)
3 to 4 tomatoes, diced (I remove most of seeds)
2 cans kidney beans, drained
1 large (15 oz.) package of Fritos
Directions
Combine all ingredients except Fritos. Chill. Prior to serving, add corn chips, or get Big Scoop Fritos and use salad as a dip.
I like to use less dressing than the recipe calls for–I just eyeball it until salad is coated.
32 1/2 cup servings
Number of Servings: 32

Football season is finally here…and everyone knows that game day just isn’t complete without the ultimate tailgating party! Whether it’s with a group of friends huddled outside the stadium or the family gathered around the TV in the den, tasty food and snacks are essential to a “winning” tailgating experience.
Tailgating for most of us conjures images of greasy pizza and saucy wings. With a little vision and planning, you can score big by offering a menu that’s just as delicious but a bit better for you.
Fewer penalties, better tailgating…
We know few people go to tailgate parties for the veggie – it’s definitely a time to indulge and enjoy. But it doesn’t have to be a total eating catastrophe. At Frito-Lay, our portion control sizes make it easy to enjoy all your favorite treats – in moderation. And simple “tricks” like offering dips made with reduced-fat sour cream or that offer positive nutrition like salsa or guacamole, cooking with lean turkey meat and fat-free refried beans can cut hundreds of calories off your meals and still taste great for you and your hungry fans.

I used reduced fat products in this recipe and it’s really yummy:
Mix a packet of taco seasoning with a can of refried beans and spread in a pie plate. Spread one cup of salsa over the beans and then cover with a small container of sour cream followed by an 8 oz package of shredded cheese. Sprinkle top with chopped tomatoes and green onions. Use Fritos Scopps to scoop up and enjoy the dip!

I like deviled eggs for any event. My husband also makes a great dip involving canned chili, Velveeta Cheese and smoked sausage. We eat it with Tostitos chips.
