I looooooove a good salad (you’ll already know that if you’ve been around here for awhile) and this Easy Classic Taco Salad is one of my favourites!! It’s a great veggie-packed salad that eats like a meal and it’s full of lean beef, Doritos, and topped with a creamy 2-ingredient salsa dressing! It’s an easy weeknight meal for the whole family, and it also makes a delicious side dish for family gatherings or summer parties!
One of my favourite things about this Easy Classic Taco Salad is how easy it is to customize – my husband is intolerant to dairy and it’s so easy to make this taco salad with dairy-free cheese and sour cream. And feel free to substitute the Doritos chips for your favourite plain or flavoured tortilla chips, or even baked tortilla chips for a healthy option.
How to make taco salad
Taco salad is SO easy to make – just layer all the ingredients in a large serving bowl or on a large serving platter. Choose your favourite ingredients according to your family’s tastes like lettuce, tomatoes, corn, black beans, bell peppers, cheese, onions, avocados, and cilantro, and add some Doritos and lean ground beef browned with taco seasoning. For the dressing, simply mix some of your favourite salsa with some sour cream, drizzle it over the salad, toss, and serve!
