Taco salads are relatively easy to make. Throw your favorite taco seasonings together and add some lettuce and a protein of choice and you’ve got yourself an awesome meal. For this recipe, we chose to use cauliflower for the base. Cauliflower is a very adaptable food that fits in nicely with Mexican spices.
You can find all of your materials, including the cauliflower, at your local grocery store. While we don’t usually use oil in many of our recipes, we use a tiny bit here to help the spices really stick to the cauliflower and to help it cook fast in the skillet. Making your own dressing is really fun for this recipe. Enjoy!
