Taco Salad

I’ve been eating lots of salads lately (which is a sentence I never thought I would say). But I’ve discovered salads don’t have to be hard to eat if you add the right ingredients! Here’s my favorite combination right now:

• chopped lettuce
• mini bell peppers, all different colors
• corn
• black beans
• cilantro
• tomatoes
• cheddar cheese
• avocado (If I have enough calories/fat left for the day)
• ground turkey cooked with homemade taco seasoning, onions, and garlic (or use grilled chicken)
• creamy cilantro dressing
  • 1 cup loosely packed cilantro, stems removed and roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or low-fat sour cream
  • 2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
  • 1-2 garlic cloves
  • 1/4 cup olive oil (I think I used less)
  • 1 1/2 tsp. white wine vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
  • 1/8 tsp. salt

Yum! Just thinking about it now makes me want to make it again for dinner but T.J. might die if I make it again so soon!
