Taco Salad– This salad has the familiar flavor of tacos that everyone loves, but it is the yummy sauce that makes it extra special!
Being that it has been a little hectic at my house lately, I have been making lots of fast and easy meals. This taco salad is one of my favorites.
I love serving main dish salads, so as soon as the sun started shining, I put this on our menu. We had it last night and I forgot how much I love it.
It’s loaded with texture and flavor, and so hearty that it even keeps my boys satisfied. The creamy sauce takes it over the top!
We had a little bit of leftovers, and my husband was nice enough to let me have them all to myself for lunch today. Which is good because I didn’t really want to have to fight for them. But I would have if I had needed to. Good thing he is such a gentleman. 🙂
Thanks to my friend Judy for this great recipe. It is just sooo yummy!
