Taco Salad Bowl with a Cilantro Lime Dressing

Taco Salad Bowl with a Cilantro Lime Dressing

The other day, when I arrived home from work, and after my walk, I didn’t know what I should throw together for dinner. I had some ground beef in the fridge and some green leaf lettuce from the farmer’s market so I figured why not make a Taco Salad Bowl with a Cilantro Lime dressing.

I created a bowl out the leafy greens.

It was perfect. Fun to make. Delicious and easy. The dressing had a great zip to it. I bet it would make a great dip with fresh veggies too.

I could have added lots of other great veggies to this dish. How about roasted corn, or chopped avocado, thinly sliced red onions, pico de gallo. But don’t stop there. Make what you love in your salad.

You see how easy it is to whip up some homemade dressing.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
