Happy Meatless Monday!
Want to get your kids to eat salad? Make it a taco salad. No kid can refuse that, right?
Here is an easy one you could make in your sleep. Or blindfolded. Or with one hand tied behind your back.
Easiest Taco Salad on the planet.
Taco Salad
- 2 cups of your favorite mild salsa
- 2 cups corn
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional. For picky kids you can leave this out, but with only 1/4 cup in this whole salad?? Might be a great time to “un-do” the pickiness and leave them in)
- 3/4 cup chopped black olives (again, optional. My kids actually love black olives and yes, I am surprised by this because I couldn’t stand them when I was younger.)
- Chopped romaine lettuce (healthier than iceberg!)
- Healthy tortilla chip of choice (whole grain, low-sodium, 3+ grams of fiber per serving…)
Mix first 5 ingredients in a large bowl.
Pile it on romaine lettuce and add your chips to the sides or crush it on top.
No need for any dressing. Once this salad is mixed up the salsa adds plenty of “wet” to the lettuce. Good stuff!
