Taco Salad

March 27, 2012 by Leia

Spring is here and the weather is warming up.

Perfect time for a great salad.

I start by browning some ground beef, and seasoning it with my favorite taco seasonings.

Chop the lettuce, I like romaine.

Chop a lot, since this isn’t just a side salad, but a main dish.

Get all the toppings ready.

To make my own dressing I use equal parts of mayo and green salsa or green taco sauce.

This is the green salsa I used. 

Mix the mayo and salsa together and add lemon or lime juice to thin the dressing to desired consistency.

I like tomatoes, green onions, olives, cheese, and avocados on my taco salad.

Also, I LOVE Doritos on it! It gives the salad a little something extra.  Yummy.Make a bed of lettuce, add the meat and layer the toppings on top of that.  Just use your hands to crush up a few Doritos and sprinkle on top.

Such an easy dinner, and pretty healthy.  And I gotta love a salad that even my husband won’t complain about eating.  (It has meat so he’s happy)  😉

Hello there!

I think food can bring people together. I value family dinners and sharing good conversations over a slice of pie or some saucy nachos. Food makes people happy, and I want to help with that. Let's dig deeper →
