This is really a yummy salad. I used red peppers and added seeded, chopped cucumbers. I didn't have any ranch so I mixed 3 TBLS italian salad dressing, 2 TBLS each mayo & sour cream and thinned a bit with milk. Didn't have taco seasoning so used 3 TSPS each cumin and chili powder. It would have been easier if I didn't have to substitute and will buy both ranch & taco seasoning to have on hand for this salad. -
We definitely enjoyed this salad and will make it again. I added baby plum tomatoes, a red bell pepper and cooked chicken to make a meal out of it. Next time, I would mix the taco seasoning and ranch dressing earlier to let the flavours blend and mellow a bit as I personally found the taco spice a little too strong. This would also be great with coriander/ cilantro as another reviewer recommended! -
This was a yummy salad. I loved everything about it. Thanks for sharing. Made for Name That Ingredient Tag. -
I loved this! I've already made it 3 times.....totally yummy. I did use some of those little tortilla strips instead of crushing tortilla chips. I also used red peppers instead of green. I used the smaller amount of ranch, and used low fat. Thanks for sharing this yummy recipe! -
