Taco Salad

I love eating salads. I could eat taco salad for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

The problem a lot of people have with salads is that we toss some limp greens on a plate, smother it with a creamy, tasteless dressing and call it “salad”. We need to add variety to that!

This taco salad is my mother’s recipe, and we make when we are missing her.It’s a good recipe to take to potluck dinners, as it is commonly popular with both adults and children.

You can get the recipe for homemade French dressing here, and the taco seasoning mix here. I enjoy the flavors of this salad as it contains all the flavors of my childhood. It is easily made a day in advance, and is super enjoyable the next day, if you have any leftovers.

What is your family’s favorite salad? Be sure to pin this for later!
