Ingredients

Beef Mixture

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning (homemade or store-bought)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Salad

  • 4 cups mixed salad greens (lettuce, spinach, etc.)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup diced cucumber
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1 avocado, diced

Dressing

  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons salsa

Instructions

  1. Cook the beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat from the pan. Stir in the taco seasoning and continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Prepare the salad base: In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, shredded cheese, and diced avocado, gently tossing to mix the ingredients evenly.
  3. Assemble the salad: Top the mixed salad with the cooked and seasoned ground beef evenly distributed over the greens and vegetables.
  4. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream and salsa until smooth and well combined.
  5. Serve: Drizzle the sour cream and salsa dressing over the assembled salad. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately for the freshest flavors and textures.

Notes

  • Use homemade taco seasoning for a control on sodium and carb content.
  • Substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter dressing.
  • For extra crunch, add some chopped bell peppers or radishes to the salad.
  • This salad can be served warm or cold, depending on preference.
  • Double the recipe to serve more people or for meal prep.
