10 LAYER TACO SALAD
Came up with this one when I needed something fun, light, & presentable to serve my company. I was really craving a taco salad but don't like how they usually wind up looking like slop. This presents beautifully. If you need to spice it up a bit you can drizzle taco sauce over it.

This recipe was given to me from my girlfiend's mom and it's quite possibly the best salad I've ever eaten. We make it for all of our family get togethers now and it's a hit every single time. I typically use 2 cups of Hellman's Mayo but the original recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups.
