    • Recipe Description:

    Taco salad is one of my favorite meal salads. When we're in the cold seasons, we use organic salsa for tomatoes (that also doubles as dressing) instead of the fresh ones offered in the summer.

    Recipe Ingredients:

  • 1 pound grass-fed ground beef, seasoned like this
  • 1 large head lettuce, washed & shredded
  • 1 cup soaked & cooked beans, optional (black, pinto, or kidney work well)
  • 1 avocado, peeled, seeded, and chopped
  • 1/2 jar olives, sliced
  • 1 cup corn (if you've put some up for the cold season or if they're organic and in-season when you make this)
  • 2 green onions or chives, sliced
  • 2 carrots, grated
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1 cup grated cheddar or jack cheese
  • salsa to taste
  • creme fraiche as an optional garnish

    • Recipe Instructions:

    Brown & season the beef. Wash & shred (or chop) the lettuce. Place lettuce in large salad bowl. Layer avocados, olives, onions, carrots, and sunflower seeds.

    Just before serving, add cheese and beef on top of the salad. Place jars of salsa and creme fraiche on the table for each individual to spoon on top of their salad to taste. The salsa can be used as the dressing, or ranch dressing is also a good addition if you like your salad more wet (at least that's what my family likes to do).
