Fresh Taco Salad, topped with my Salsa
Sometimes our dinner comes from what I have fresh and available.  Yesterday I browned a lb of organic ground beef to put in the refrigerator for a future meal and realized that I had everything I needed to put together a Taco Salad for dinner.  I keep homemade Taco Seasoning in a glass jar, and I had planned on making a quick batch of my Salsa.  The Salsa disappears as if by magic, and it takes about 5 minutes of my time to put together.

The result was really phenomenal, filling and fresh, so I wanted to share it with you.  Cinco De Mayo is tuesday, so it's a good time.

You will have no need of extra salad dressing, which makes this especially nice and healthy for a complete meal.

     My lifestyle focus in the past 20 years has been health and nutrition. I love to cook and I really take joy in making our family meals as healthy and beautiful as I can.  Now I have two really great daughters-in-Law who are vegetarian, so it's lots of fun to incorporate that into our lives as well.  I hope you find that my blog inspires you to live an energetic healthy life!
