You can use just about any of your favorite toppings for this salad. Here are some that I love:

• ground turkey or beef
• tortilla chips or broken taco shells
• diced tomatoes
• black beans
• salsa
• shredded cheese
• sour cream
• chives
• black olives
• jalapenos (pickled)
• corn
• taco sauce
• ranch dressing

I make my own taco seasoning for the meat. I like it better than any I’ve found at the store, and I always have the ingredients on hand.  Here is my recipe.
