Ingredients
Salad Base
- 8 cups salad mix
- 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/2 cup bell pepper, chopped
- 1/2 cup radish, sliced
- 1/4 cup red onion, chopped
Protein
- 1 pound seasoned taco meat (already prepared)
Dressing & Cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (or to taste) OR Jalapeno Ranch (optional)
Instructions
- Assemble Salad: Divide the 8 cups of salad mix evenly into 4 bowls. Then, top each bowl with a quarter of the cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, chopped bell pepper, sliced radish, chopped red onion, seasoned taco meat, and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Prepare Dressing: In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream and hot sauce to your preferred spiciness. Alternatively, you can use Jalapeno Ranch dressing as a flavorful substitute.
- Dress Salad & Serve: Drizzle the dressing evenly over each salad bowl. Toss gently to coat all ingredients with the dressing, then serve immediately for a fresh and tasty keto-friendly meal.
Notes
- You can prepare your own seasoned taco meat or buy pre-seasoned meat for convenience.
- Jalapeno Ranch dressing is a great alternative to the sour cream and hot sauce mix; you can find recipes online to make it at home.
- Feel free to customize the salad by adding other keto-friendly toppings like olives or jalapenos.
- This salad is best served fresh to maintain the crispness of the vegetables.
