VEGETARIAN TACO SALAD (FOR THE DIETER)

I originally made lettuce wraps with this, thinking of it as more of a taco, but I quickly found out that having the whole salad was much more filling.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 3m

Yield 1 salad, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2/3 cup Morningstar Farms Meal Starters Grillers recipe crumbles
3 cups romaine lettuce
2 -3 teaspoons taco seasoning
taco sauce

Steps:

  • Heat griller crumbles according to package, adding water according to your taste for consistency.
  • Add taco seasoning and let heat for 30 seconds longer so that the onion bits soften. I add extra cumin here for a smokier flavor, but you could also had a TINY bit of cayenne if you like the heat.
  • Top lettuce with "meat," then sprinkle on taco sauce.
  • Enjoy! :3 You could also top with shredded cheese, sour cream, or tomatoes, but I don't like any of those.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of fresh vegetables. This will add flavor, color, and nutrients to your salad. Some good choices include lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, peppers, and corn.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings. In addition to the traditional taco toppings like cheese, sour cream, and salsa, you can also try things like guacamole, black beans, or even fruit.
  • Make sure to season your salad well. A simple dressing of olive oil, vinegar, and salt and pepper can go a long way. You can also add some dried herbs or spices for extra flavor.
  • Serve your salad immediately. This will prevent the vegetables from getting soggy.

Conclusion:

Vegetarian taco salad is a delicious, healthy, and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it's also a good source of protein and fiber. Plus, it's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences.
