Very fun and delicious salad! Made as directed, except sprayed the pan with cooking spray as opposed to the pork. Also, lined the salad bowl with the arugula instead of tossing within. Will probably use iceberg lettuce next time only because DH doesn't do arugula very well. Thanks, Kiwi Kathy! Made for Aussie New Zealand Recipe Swap #26</b>.

Made for Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #25. This was excellent. We enjoyed the different mix of flavors in this salad. I've never had taco salad with cucumbers and corn in it. The only other think that I did different was to add some garlic dill seasoning and salsa to the dressing as it was a little bit plain for us. Thanks for posting this recipe Kathy!

This salad made a nice lunch today. I sprayed my cooking pan instead of the meat. I used mexican canned corn and lettuce and made as directed. The salad was delicious -- I didn't measure just fixed salad plates. We did need to add a little more zip to the dressing. I added fresh ground pepper and parmesan cheese. I put dressing on my salad and then added about 1 tablespoon of catalina bottled dressing. I think salsa would be a welcome addition also. Thanks for posting KK. We enjoyed your recipe.
