Taco Salad in a Jar
I always love a good taco salad—it’s colorful, loaded with bold Tex-Mex flavors, and super satisfying.
Ingredients
- 3 to 4 tablespoons Salsa-Lime Vinaigrette
- 2 tablespoons diced red and green peppers
- 2 tablespoons corn, frozen or canned corn, thawed and drained
- 2 tablespoons diced red onion
- 2 tablespoons low-fat shredded Mexican cheese
- 2 tablespoons canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- ¼ avocado, diced
- ¼ cup leftover turkey taco meat
- ¼ cup diced tomato
- 1 cup finely chopped romaine lettuce
- 1 hard taco shell, crumbled
- ¼ cup salsa, optional
Instructions
- Pour salad dressing in the bottom of the jar
- Next, create pretty layers by adding one at a time: peppers, corn, onions, cheese, beans and avocado.
- Add the turkey taco meat and then diced tomatoes. Top with lettuce until the entire jar is filled almost to the top. Garnish with taco shell and salsa, if desired.
- Screw on the lid and refrigerate until ready to serve (within 24 hours)
- When ready to eat, give the jar a good shake to disperse the dressing and pour onto a plate or into a large bowl—or enjoy it straight from the jar!
