Summertime is here, and so it’s the perfect time to introduce some great summer meals. This taco salad is one meal that my family often has at family get-togethers. And if I’m short on time for dinner, I will often fix one of these for myself. But now, I’ve made it with real ingredients! This is super simple to prepare and also easy for each member of the family to personalize according to their own tastes…..or food intolerances!

You can also add different vegetables and ingredients according to what you like or leave out what you like as well.

If you use certified gluten-free tortilla chips, then this great entree salad is gluten-free!
