Directions
Step 1: For the Cilantro Vinaigrette combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend for 2 minutes until smooth. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed and set aside.
Step 2: For the taco meat place a medium skillet over medium high heat and add the olive oil. Add the onions and sauté for 5 minutes until soft.
Step 3: Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds more.
Step 4: Add the ground chicken or turkey and continue to cook for 6-7 minutes until fully cooked. Add the taco seasoning and the water and reduce heat to low. Simmer the mixture for 5 minutes while you assemble the salad.
Step 5: If you’re layering this Taco Salad in one large serving bowl, layer half of the lettuce on the bottom followed by half of all the other toppings.
Step 6: Add the next layer of lettuce on top and finish with the remaining toppings. Top with the meat and toss together with a few tablespoons of the vinaigrette. Add more as needed and serve immediately.
