The three Taco Tuesday recipes everyone keeps coming back for!
|
Hi Reader, This summer, three Taco Tuesday recipes have been getting all the love on Salads for Lunch, and if you haven’t made them yet, now’s the perfect time. They’re easy enough for a weeknight dinner, delicious enough for a potluck, and perfect for anyone who loves Taco Tuesday. 🥗 The crowd-pleasing 7 Layer Taco Salad This colorful 7 Layer Taco Salad has become one of the most popular recipes on Salads for Lunch for good reason. Layered with crisp lettuce, seasoned taco meat, black beans, corn, juicy tomatoes, cheddar cheese, avocado, olives, salsa, sour cream, and crunchy tortilla chips, it’s the kind of dish that disappears fast at BBQs, potlucks, family dinners, and game days. It’s easy to prep ahead, looks beautiful on the table, and every bite is loaded with flavor. 🌮 The dressing that makes every Taco Salad better If you’re still reaching for bottled dressing, this homemade Easy Taco Salad Dressing is worth the five minutes it takes to make. It’s creamy, tangy, packed with taco flavor, and tastes so much fresher than anything from the grocery store. I love using it on taco salads, burrito bowls, grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, and even as a dip for fresh veggies. ⭐ Make it even better with homemade Taco Seasoning Want even more flavor while cutting back on sodium? Instead of using a store-bought seasoning packet, make a batch of my Homemade Low Sodium Taco Seasoning Mix. It uses pantry spices you probably already have, lets you control the salt, and is perfect for tacos, chili, soups, casseroles, and of course, the 7 Layer Taco Salad. I like making a double batch so it’s ready whenever taco night rolls around. Whether you’re planning Taco Tuesday, packing lunches, or feeding a crowd this weekend, these three recipes make an easy combination that’s always a hit. P.S. If you make any of these recipes, I’d love to see them! Tag me on social media or leave a review on the recipe - I always enjoy seeing your creations.

Hi Reader, Happy November! The air is cooler, the produce aisle is full of deep reds, oranges and greens, and salads are getting cozier. Here's what's freshest this month: Fruits at their best: apples, pears, cranberries, pomegranates, mandarin oranges, persimmons, and grapes. Vegetables at their best: Brussels sprouts, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, kale, cabbage, beets, cauliflower, broccoli, pumpkin, leeks, turnips, and radishes. Cooking with what's in season usually means better flavor...
Hi Reader, Hello, October! There's something about this month that gets me every year — it's the sweet spot where late-summer produce (tomatoes, grapes, the last of the stone fruit) overlaps with fall's first arrivals. That overlap is exactly what makes October salads so good. Here's what to look for at the market or in your grocery store's produce section this month: Fruits at their best: apples, pears, pomegranates, cranberries, grapes, figs, persimmons, and the last of the plums....
Hello, September! There's nothing like that first crisp morning to remind you fall is on its way — and with it comes one of my favorite harvest windows of the year. Before we get into all things seasonal produce, let me catch you up on our August. What we've been up to August was all about transitions in our house. My youngest, Amber (15), traded in her summer softball gear for her hockey gear — pucks, early morning practices, and all. Meanwhile, my two oldest, Brooke (19) and Sierra (21),...
