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.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground meat
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 jalapeno, diced
- 1 tsp. of each: chili powder, cumin, and coriander (can omit or replace w/ cilantro)
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Brown meat.
- Add onion, garlic, and jalapenos.
- When the meat is brown and the onions have a translucent appearance, add the seasonings.
- Add water and mix thoroughly.
- Use a bed of lettuce or mixed greens as your base, then add seasoned meat.
- Pile on your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Cool and serve over taco salad. Store in the fridge.
Thank you Jill for your Taco Salad dressing. I served it with taco salad at a company lunch without even testing it first – a possible risk, but the ingredients looked great so I took the chance. It is delicious! The tangy-sweet flavor is perfect.
Thank you…Sure beats the pre-packaged taco seasoning!!
I like Catalina dressing on my taco salad. And I make my own seasoning too, so easy, and no salt like the packaged ones.
