I made this huge salad to bring to a party and people were scrambling to figure out who made it. Needless to say I only brought home an empty bowl and the guests went home with a full stomach! Ingredients:
1-1/2 pounds ground turkey or beef |
2 envelopes taco seasoning, divided |
1 medium head iceberg lettuce |
1 package (12-1/2 ounces) nacho tortilla chips, coarsely crushed |
2 pints grape tomatoes, halved |
2 cans (16 ounces each) kidney beans, rinsed and drained |
3 cans (2-1/4 ounces each) sliced ripe olives, drained |
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese |
1 large sweet onion, chopped |
2 cans (4 ounces each) chopped green chilies |
1-1/2 cups thousand island salad dressing |
1-1/3 cups salsa |
1/3 cup sugar |
Directions:
1. In a Dutch oven over medium heat, cook beef with 1 envelope plus 2 tablespoons taco seasoning until no longer pink; drain.
2. In a very large serving bowl, combine the lettuce, chips, tomatoes, beans, olives, cheese, onion, chilies and beef mixture.
3. In a small bowl, combine the salad dressing, salsa, sugar and remaining taco seasoning; pour over salad and toss to coat. Yield: 26 servings (1-1/3 cups each).
