I'm always watching for delicious new recipes to try, and when I found this salad, I knew it would taste as good as it looks. Although similar to a traditional taco salad, this recipe adds tasty extras like broccoli and carrot. It's stunning on the table. -Dianne Esposite, New Middletown, Ohio

I'm not usually a fan of raw bell peppers, but they were surprisingly good in this salad.
