I think this is a little of every taco salad recipe around. I use a non meat product instead of hamburg. This gives me extra calcium and cuts out the fat. I hope you enjoy.

VEGETARIAN TACO SALAD - LOW FAT



Vegetarian Taco Salad - Low Fat image

No meat or meat substitutes - great for winter days when fresh veggies are hard to find. Yummy vegetarian taco salad that even my 11 year old enjoys. Polenta corn chips have only 3.5g of fat per ounce - I use SOLEA polenta chips.

CATALINA 'TACO' SALAD



Catalina 'Taco' Salad image

When is a taco salad not a taco salad? Hamburger, tortilla chips, onion, lettuce and cheese. But it's the dressing that makes this amazing! I got this recipe from my parents who got it from my aunt who got it from a friend and so on. It is an amazing change from a regular taco salad!
