This was very yummy! I liked the flavor the lime juice brought out in it. I used ground turkey seasoned with taco seasoning and "Salad Spritzer" for the vinaigrette. It all went together nicely but felt like it was missing something, not quite sure what - maybe onions or garlic? All in all it is a very good recipe that I will make again! Thanks for sharing!

Delicious! I used lean ground beef and tomatoes in my salad. I liked the addition of the lime juice with the vinaigrette dressing. I also used some salsa and sour cream on top and added some fresh cilantro. I like this version of taco salad better than the catalina one.
