Low Carb Taco Salad

A healthy taco salad using wholesome ingredients is naturally low in carbs, easy to prepare, and absolutely delicious! Use lean ground beef or turkey.

INGREDIENTS:

1 pound lean ground beef

2 whole Romaine hearts (340 grams), chopped

1 whole avocado, cubed

4 ounce cheddar cheese, cubed

3 ounces grape tomatoes, halved

2 tbsp sliced red onion (1/2 ounce)

1 tsp ground cumin (or 2 tbsp of Homemade Taco Seasoning)

salt and pepper to taste

Mexican Viniagrette:

1/2 batch Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette (sub sugar-free sweetener to taste, for the honey)

Optional Ingredients:

salsa

sour cream

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preparation:

1.Make vinaigrette per instructions. Chop and prepare vegetables and cheese.

Method:

1.Place the ground beef in a cold pan over medium heat. Work the ground beef in the pan to break up in to tiny crumbles, about 7 minutes. Add the cumin and salt and pepper to taste. Alternately, use 2 tbsp of my homemade taco seasoning. Let cool slightly.

2.Place all of the ingredients into a large bowl and toss with the dressing. Top with a dollop of sour cream and salsa if desired (don’t forget to count the carbs). Serves 4.

Enjoy!
