Shrimp Taco Salad image

I created this main-dish salad to satisfy our family's love of shrimp. It has lots of contrasting textures, including firm taco-seasoned shrimp, crispy tortilla strips and hearty black beans. A convenient bag of salad greens cuts down on prep time, so I can have this meal ready in half an hour. -Ellen Morrell, Hazleton, Pennsylvania

This salad is a great way to enjoy all the flavors of tacos without the guilt. It's also a great way to use up leftover taco meat. I like to add a dollop of sour cream and guacamole to my salad.
