The warm weather automatically leads to my family wanting to be outside more. Throw in lacrosse games and practices and dinners need to be on the table fast. Sometimes we are all eating at different times with our schedules. I want an option for the family to serve themselves something healthy instead of fast or junk food. Plus, swimsuit season will be here before we know it! It’s this time of year I start making more salads for dinner. An old favorite of mine is one my mom always made, Taco Salad.
Taco Salad
I tend to almost always have cooked ground beef in my freezer, year round. In the winter I’ll use it for Shepard’s Pie, chili, tacos, soups, and more. In the warmer months, using that pre-cooked ground beef makes taco salad even easier.
For a little while, we had to cut taco salad from our menu when we realized the kids were allergic to artificial food coloring. Because, Doritos! But, thanks to Aldi, this old favorite is back!!!

It’s really a completely customizable salad. The thing that makes it the recipe I love is the beef with French dressing (which Aldi’s also has without artificial food coloring) and the Doritos.
Do you have a favorite summer salad?

As always, feel free!
This taco salad tastes just amazing. I made it on the last weekend. It is a perfect snack. Everyone in my family loves this salad.
With summer right around the corner, this is going to be one of my go-to recipes. Thank you for sharing with us this week at Celebrate Your Story and we hope you will join us again next week.
