Our Nacho Salad Recipe: Crispy, Spicy and So Good Too
Today we’re tacing the taco to the bowl. Brimming with fresh vegetables such as tomatoes and crunchy lettuce, beans, lip-smacking fried ground beef, a mix of salsa and sour cream, and of course crispy tortilla chips, you’ll find that this salad has everything. It’s not every day that a dish satisfies both the eye and the stomach, but our nacho salad does just that.
But first, some important information: As is so often the case, our recipe is also a sounding board. Our nacho salad also tastes wonderful with other ingredients. We at Scrumdiddlyumptious have chosen tomatoes, peppers, avocado, corn, beans, red onions and lettuce, as well as ground beef and tortilla chips, of course. But you can just as easily use other ingredients and, for example, swap black beans for kidney beans.
On that note, let’s talk about bringing the heat with this nacho salad. We personally see the salsa and sour cream as the dressing for this dish. This means that it can fittingly be adjusted, say with chopped chilies, garlic, hot sauces and the like. And if you love cheese, sprinkle some grated cheddar or favorite cheeses over your salad before serving! The point is that this dish, as always, should be best suited to your tastes. We wish you happy eating!
Salads are something that we could never get enough of here at Scrumdiddlyumptious. There’s just too many ways to mix and match ingredients! Like with our raw zucchini salad, peach, blueberry, and feta salad, and chickpea salad with grilled chicken.
