Taco salad and summer go together<\/strong><\/p>\n

Summertime for our family consists of three things: the pool, the beach and the grill. There are so many options when it comes to grilling. For us, we are a family that loves Mexican cuisine. You will find on our Instagram page many different dinner varieties. Every Tuesday in our house is \u201cTaco\u201d night.\u00a0<\/span>A favorite we enjoy is taco salads.<\/span><\/p>\n

The possibilities are endless when creating this salad. We really like to make ours with grilled chicken, accompanied with an avocado ranch dressing. We incorporate many healthy vegetables too.<\/span><\/p>\n

The kids are great helpers when it comes to preparing this meal. Although they are not old enough to be masters of the grill, they take control of several duties. From washing and drying the lettuce, to draining the black olives and black beans, to shredding the cheese and shucking the corn, to mixing the dressing, there is a job for everyone while dad tends to the grill.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a perfectly delicious summer salad. While not everyone may fancy grilled chicken on theirs, you can easily substitute grilled skirt steak, shrimp, pork or even fish. And for those who are vegans, grilled vegetables are always yummy too. Same with your dressing of choice as well \u2014 the possibilities are endless.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is how we prepare ours. We hope you will try it and enjoy it as much as we do.<\/span><\/p>\n
