Super Taco Salad

[mandysda]

   This salad sounds so good.   I really appreciate that you've included a healthy low-fat version of "stedda" sour cream.  I'm going to try it tonight for supper and go with dark red kidney beans instead of the black beans and I think I will add some extra veggies like green onions and tomato chunks and possibly some corn kernals and black olives.   Thanks!  I can't wait to fix this one.  I think it's going to be a big hit.

Well, I made it and it turned out real good.  My husband isn't a vegetarian but he loved it too.  On his, before I layered the other ingredients on the lettuce, I added some sweet and spicy french dressing and tossed it in.  I left this off mine due to fat content.         the stedda sourcream stuff turned out yucky, but I just substituted plain tofutti sour supreme.  It's delicious.  and I made a relish type of stuff using corn, salsa, sliced black olives and chopped green onions.  I used the dark red kidney beans instead of the black beans.  I topped the salad with crunched up baked tostitos.  All in all very yummy.  It will be a new summer favorite here.

This was absolutely superb, but I made some modifications.  First, I wanted to make enough for 2 main dish dinners and 2 leftover lunches, so I increased the burger crumbles to approx. 2 cups. I used 1 can of kidney beans instead of black beans, and I just added them to the lettuce without heating them up. I used Bearitos taco seasoning mix and added 1 tbs of that, along with some water and 2 tbs of salsa, to the crumbles while they were heating up. I used Tofutti sour cream and added 1 tbs of taco seasoning and approx. 2 tbs of lemon juice and mixed it all up.  To the lettuce, I added some diced tomato and avocado. I omitted the nutritional yeast. I put lettuce in the bowl, then the tomatoes, avocado, beans, crumbles, and dotted this with some of the sour cream dressing. I put the crushed tortilla chips on top of that. This was as good as, or better, than the taco salad I used to eat in my omni days with Doritos, cheese, ground beef, and Catalina dressing (oy,  I can hear my arteries hardening just thinking about it!   I highly recommend this - it took me only about 20 minutes from start to finish, and it is extremely tasty and flavorful. Thanks!

This was a wonderful recipe!!! Thanks so much for the posting it. I added kernals from an ear of corn to the crumble-bean mixture and tomatoes and avocado to the salad. The tofu-lemon dressing is just delicious.

I also increased the portions and made enough for two dinner salads and then two more to bring for lunch today--yum!
