“YUMMY!!!! We love taco salads. These are some of our favorite ingredients to use. Sometimes I throw on some brown rice. I use cheese dip instead of the grated cheese and do not add any other dressing. So delicious! Also leave my chips on the side so they do no” — a cook
“I made this last night and it’s every bit as good as the chicken version!! Can’t pick a favorite between the two. I have been on such a basil kick all summer so the cilantro dressing was a nice change-up. I just love fresh herbs in and on everything!” — a cook
