Was very good! I did however add some more dressing than suggested, especially garlic. Felt it was a little dry/bland with the original amount of dressing.
was perfect in the end though.

This salad is delicious! The dressing is very good. I used everything the recipe called for and added shaved parmesan on top. I also used penne pasta.  I will definitely make this again!

Absolutely Delicious, but I changed quite a few things:  I substituted sun-dried tomatoes for the artichokes, used sauteed spinach instead of raw, opted the salami, doubled the cherry tomatoes and added sugar to the dressing.  So good!!

Please send positive comments.  Who cares about the food group.  Not revelant .  The Recipe is delicious as is and suggests to add more ingredients if needed.

Mine came out delicious, next I will need to make sure that the salami isn't sliced thin. Big hit!

Looks exactly like the video and tastes great! So easy. Made a double batch for a party.

fyi - mayo isn't dairy.  Base ingredients are eggs, oil, and lemon juice.  I love the "create your own recipe" format by the way -- that helps with inspiration and substitutions!

Taco Salad

white onion

red pepper

green pepper

cherry tomatoes

iceberg lettuce

Ortega taco sauce medium

Western dressing

15 oz bag Nacho Cheese Doritos

tsp pepper

tsp chili powder

tsp cumin

tsp salt

Start by dicing the onion and poblano pepper. Sauté the onion and poblano pepper for a couple of minutes on medium heat. Add in the ground beef and cook everything until it has finished browning.  Add in the garlic and chili powders, cumin, salt, and pepper.

When the ground beef has finished browning drain off any excess grease and set aside to cool.

A great way to cool and drain ground beef is to pour it into a colander that is lined with a few paper towels.

While the ground beef is cooling, chop up the lettuce, cut the cheddar cheese into small bite-sized cubes, half the cherry tomatoes, and cut the red and green peppers into bite-sized pieces.

Mix the Western dressing and taco sauce together.

To serve, combine the lettuce, cheese, peppers, tomatoes, and ground beef together with the dressing.  Add the Doritos before serving, crumbling them slightly with your hands as they are added to the salad.
