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.
