Super quick and easy! This is a nice way to use up the crushed tortilla chips at the bottom of the bag. I normally use ranch dressings fot taco salads, and I must say that I enjoyed the French dressing as a change of pace. I served cherry tomatoes around the salad. Thanx for a new taco salad. -
Quite enjoyable, and it was so easy! I suggest listing the optional toppings in the ingredients section (as optional). My research said that 2 small onions, chopped was the equivalent of 7/8 cup chopped onion. I used a generic taco seasoning packet and Kraft Free Catalina Dressing (which is a redder version of "French" dressing). This was easy for me to incorporate in my WW program.

I am a fifth grade teacher completely dedicated to my job. I spend most of my time correcting papers, working on lesson plans, and bettering myself as an educator. I love to share my joy of cooking and baking with my class through the use of recipe integration with math. I also bring a lot of treats to my kids. :)
I am also a newly-wed just finding my feet as a cook for more than one. My husband and I love to fish and hunt, and also to eat what we catch. We always have a freezer full of venison, elk, and various fish. I replace most of the beef in recipes with ground venison.
Many of my cooking skills come from my mother, who managed an upscale restaurant for a number of years. She also learned from her grandmothers, who were well know n for being fantastic chefs. My favorite recipe book is her collection in an accordion file that she has gathered since childhood.
As you can tell, I LOVE Spongebob. It is the best way to wind down from a long day- you don't have to think! :) I am an avid reader, and must always have a book with me. As a teacher, most books I read are fifth grade level, although I do get to enjoy an adult book every now and then. My husband is an avid Chicago Cubs and Green Bay Packer fan, so we watch a lot of sports. I love to be outside gardening, camping, taking walks, or just playing. We LOVE to grill, and my favorite is brats boiled in beer!!
