Instructions

  • FOR THE DRESSING
  • Add all the ingredients to a canning jar. Screw the lid on and mix well. We use a canning jar so we can put a lid on the left overs and keep it in the fridge.
    FOR THE TACO SALAD
  • In a frying pan brown the chicken and turkey then drain the fat content. Add the taco seasoning and the water and simmer for 10 mins.
  • Wash the lettuce and kale then cut into bite size pieces. Add to one big bowl or individual bowls. We like individual bowls.
  • Chop the cucumbers, tomatoes, pepper, and pickles, avocado and slice the red onion thinly add to the bowls or bowl.
  • Grate the cheese and set aside.
  • When the meat is ready. Top each salad with a portion of meat and then cheese. Drizzle some of the dressing over top and sprinkle with tortilla strips or crunched up Doritos.
