Chicken Taco Salad
Day 4 of 5 Days of Dinner Salads and this one is always a big hit in this house!! We usually have beef but changed it up to Chicken Taco Salad for this recipe. Why not?? I love variety, that is what we thrive on here and they say that it is the spice of life!!
Never the same old, same old here!! Why would you with all the wonderful recipes now available at your fingertips. Change some things up and you will be oh so happy you did.
Chicken or Turkey
Chicken or turkey is a good alternative to beef, don’t get me wrong I do love my Alberta Beef!!! I love how easy and yummy this salad. Dinner salads are a great weekday meal because you can have them done up in no time, with very few dishes too and they are a healthy meal for your whole family.
Give this one a try. I used Epicure’s Taco Seasoning for our salad. I like that it is so much lower in sodium than the store-bought packages are.
And here is our nice big Chicken Taco Salad. Enjoy!!
