Taco Salad with Ground Turkey and Fresh Tomatoes

This quick, fun, delicious salad is a staple for our household.  It is semi-hommade, for sure.  But if you need to throw something together quickly, you’ll love this Taco Salad.  This is a great option for those nights when you don’t have the time to put some serious effort into dinner.  And I'm fairly certain that it covers all the major food groups, so you've got that going for you ... which is nice.

We use ground turkey instead of beef, and nobody can tell the difference.  Start with a bag salad, add the browned turkey meat with taco seasoning, and then go wild with the toppings:

Tortilla Chips

Shredded Cheese

Fresh sliced Cherry Tomatoes

Lite Sour Cream

Salsa

Taco Sauce

Hot Sauce

Avocados

Green Onions (we cut them right on top with kitchen shears)

Whenever we struggle to come up with a quick dinner idea my wife says, "Taco salads?" and my answer is always "Yes."
