We’ve had taco salad a few times lately, and I decided to snap a picture during one of those meals. (Check out the princess napkin. It’s because I’m special like that.)
I had this taco salad for the first time when we made it for a women’s retreat at church. I wasn’t so sure about some of the ingredients, and neither were the other people on my team that was preparing it. However, one of our team members was insistent that this would be delicious. When we all finally tried it, we loved it too! And now, I don’t want to eat taco salad without having coconut flakes and walnuts with it.

I love eating a taco salad. I must say I have never heard of or much less tried one with walnuts or coconut flakes. I will have to do that soon. Stopping by from the Hip Homeschool Hop!
Looks yummy. Have you ever had “taco in a bag?” You get small bags of fritos and basically put in whatever taco salad ingredients you like right in the bag with the fritos. Serve with a plastic fork and voila: “taco in a bag!” Our local 4H sells them at their fair food booths, yum! Good for family picnics, etc.
That looks wonderful! We may have Taco Salad for dinner tonight. Thanks for the great recipe.
Walnuts and coconut flakes..two things I like but would have never dreamed of putting on a taco salad! Now you’ve got me curious…I’m going to have to try it! Stopping by from the Hop.
Coconut – who would have thought? I’m curious enough to try it 🙂
What a great idea to use tomato sauce in place of water! But the coconut and walnuts are a little out there for me – just crazy enough that I can’t wait to try it!
I LOVE taco salad! I am going to give this recipe a try!
