Vegan Taco Salad
Taco salad is often drenched in cheese, sour cream, and ranch dressing, making it a definite unhealthy menu choice. Sometimes, when we want a light weeknight meal and find an almost empty bag of tortilla chips tempting, we toss together this combo to make a much healthier version. There are so many ingredients, and topped with a quality salsa, you can really enjoy the dish without the fat.
