Dressing for Taco Salad
 

My blood sugar hasn't been where it should be and my family was having tacos, it smelled so good, so i decided to have a taco salad, but i couldn't figure out a dressing that wouldn't taste weird (because i just wanted a taco really)

Enough for one serving

2 Tbsp Light Sour Cream
2 Tbsp Taco meat
1 Tbsp Salsa

and 1-2 tsp water to make it thinner.

It was soooo yummy :)

Sounds yummy!! :yum I never know what dressing to put on our taco salad. Ranch or vinaigrette just doesn't seem right. Thanks for sharing.

yup that's a yummy dressing - Texas steakhouse serves a fajita salad and their dressing is just chunky salsa mixed with sour cream. delicious!

Re: Dressing for Taco Salad
 

Sounds good!

I like either ranch mixed with taco seasoning and catalina is good too!! :yum

My step-sister uses Catalina dressing. I never even ate it before, but it works really well. It's kind of tomatoey I guess.

K, so... I'm totally making taco salad for dinner. YUM!

Re: Dressing for Taco Salad
 

my taco salads look like this (this is literally the order i put it on my plate):

slightly crushed white corn tortilla chips, lettuce, taco seasoned ground meat (beef or chicken but usually turkey), refried beans, shredded cheese, salsa, ranch dressing and olives.

YUMMY! though it likely wouldn't help your blood sugar.

We don't use a dressing as such. We build them like this:

Crispy iceberg lettuce and Fritos (no substitutions!).
Grated cheese.
Hot taco meat, slightly soupy. (We fry it up, rinse off any fat, then add taco seasoning, salsa, and water, and simmer briefly.)
Chopped onion and tomato.
Sour cream or yogurt.
Salsa.
Chopped avocado.
Fork!

That sounds really good!

DH's favorite salad dressing is salsa. It doesn't have to be on a taco salad, just any mix of greens. I like the addition of a little sour cream or ranch, though.

Re: Dressing for Taco Salad
 

Yeah, I have a very specific order in which my taco salad must be built. :shifty

In a bowl:
Crunched chips
A wee bit of lettuce
Taco meat
Cheese
Tomato/onion
Salsa
Topped with a dollop of sour cream. :yes

We make ours like this:

* Lettuce
* Drained beans (pinto, red, black - whatever)
* Drained corn
* "Salsa" (I'm usually throwing this together, so I typically use a can of Red Gold tomatoes "Mexican fiesta" and drain it some)
* Dressing: mashed avocado mixed with sour cream and a bit of lime juice
* Conchitas (corn chips - like fritos)

:yum
