Taco Salad II image

This is a pretty good "entree" salad, originally given to me by my boss's wife about 25 years ago. Just make sure the meat and cheese sauce are hot and the lettuce and tomatoes are cold.

Meh. It was okay. I thought the dressing was a bit too tangy for my taste, and the ground beef was a little dry. I think I'll stick to my regular taco recipe.

This is one of my favorite recipes! It's so easy to make and always a hit with my family. I like to add some extra vegetables, like bell peppers and corn, and I always use fresh cilantro. It's the perfect meal for a busy weeknight.

I was skeptical at first, I mean, a taco salad? But I'm so glad I tried it! The dressing is tangy and flavorful, and the combination of ground beef, taco seasoning, and fresh vegetables is just perfect. I will definitely be making this again.
