- 1⁄4 cup tomatoes, diced

- 1 tablespoon green onion, sliced (optional)
- tortilla chips
-
Salsa Ranch dressing
- 1 tablespoon ranch dressing

directions
- To make the Salsa Ranch dressing, mix 1 part ranch dressing with two parts salsa. If you like more dressing, of course, you can increase the amounts, just keep the ratio. Taste as you go to get it to your preference!
- To make the salad, layer the salad ingredients however you prefer your salad to look - make it pretty! The tortilla chips may either be crushed and sprinkled on top or served on the side. Serve with Salsa Ranch dressing. Enjoy!

We loved this version of taco salad! I did use your Recipe #292803, maybe 2 cups of it. I also increased the chicken to probably 2 cups as well. I thought the dressing was perfect, but it was a tad spicy for DH, since our salsa is pretty hot. Served with baked tortilla chips. All the flavors blend nicely, and it was quite yummy.

I live on the coast of Florida, near St. Pete. Great seafood abounds here! Cooking good, family friendly meals is my passion, and my kids are as into it as I am. (My 3 year old cracks a mean egg!)
