Taco Salad with Tomatillo Salsa Dressing image

A taco salad with tons of vegetables for flavor and crunch, and lean ground beef for delicious flavor and protein. My daughter normally doesn't care for any type of salsa, but the tomatillo dressing appealed to her. Top with sour cream and chiles, if desired.

The dressing was a bit too thin for me. I think I'll add some more sour cream or avocado next time.

This salad was a bit too bland for me. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm not a huge fan of cilantro, so I left it out of the dressing. It was still really good.

I've never had tomatillo salsa before, but I really liked it in this salad. It gave it a nice tangy flavor.

I had some leftover taco meat, so I used that in this salad. It turned out great!

This salad was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. He said it was the perfect amount of heat.

I'm not a huge fan of taco salad, but this one was actually really good. The dressing was light and flavorful, and the salad itself was packed with fresh veggies.

This taco salad was a hit with my family! The tomatillo salsa dressing was creamy and tangy, and the salad itself was packed with flavor. I added some grilled chicken to mine, and it was perfect.
