  1. Yum..great tasty salad; i served the grilled chicken on the side.
     
  2. My favorite recipes are quick, easy and delicious. This recipe falls into the favorite description. I used the suggestion from another reviewer and used recipe #76616 for the seasoning. Instead of mixing the seasoning with the dressing, I heated the meat slightly and added the seasoning directly to the meat. I served this delicious salad in recipe #166609 and topped it with salsa and sour cream. Thanks for posting. Reviewed for I Recommend... tag, May 2008
     
  3. Oh gosh what a great salad I made this for a light dinner tonight and my DH and DS loved it, I increased the chicken and used recipe#76616 for the taco seasoning, although this is a salad it really filling, thanks for sharing Parsley!...Kitten
     
  4. I couldn't wait to try this! I made it for lunch, and was in a hurry because the farm beckoned me back to work. This came together fast, (already had chicken from previous dinner) and had all other ingredients on hand. Didn't change anything expect I had Jalapeno/Ranch dressing instead of Thousand Island. This worked out perfectly, I added taco seasoning to this, and this produced a heavenly taste. Also had some fresh jalapeno's that I sliced on the top. (I love hot, and spicy)! Thank you so much, Parsley! Will make lots!
     
  5. This is a great taco salad! I made a single serving for lunch today and was asked by a colleague where I bought it. ;) I put 2 cups romaine lettuce, 3 oz. chicken, 1/4 cup black beans and 1/4 cup shredded cheddar together in a container. I bagged the tortilla chips separately and added them with a few slices of avocado right before eating. I also made the full amount of dressing but used only a portion on my salad. I think the next time I make this I will keep the full cup of thousand island dressing but decrease the taco seasoning by half. (I felt that a whole packet didn't let the sweetness of the dressing come through. That's just my personal taste.) I loved the crunch of the chips with the creaminess of the avocado and dressing. Thanks for posting a wonderful recipe, Parsley! The "salad queen" now has a new one that will definitely become part of her rotation. ;)
