ode to the taco salad

Meal-sized salads will become a staple at our house this summer, for a variety of reasons: speed of preparation, little to no cooking required, summer produce bounty, etc. I do love a well-planned meal-sized salad, and taco salad might be my absolute favorite of them all:



I sort of destroyed the healthy aspects of this Vegetarian Taco Salad by adding large dollops of both sour cream and guacamole, (but hell, at least the guac is healthy, right?), but really, who cares? This was an AWESOME dinner on Thursday night, and there are still a few leftovers in the fridge! I sense a repeat at lunch today . . . ! :)

What's your favorite salad?

(P.S. I'm in love with Whole Grain Milling Co.'s organic tortilla chips . . . and they are LOCAL, too! Woo!)
