Eat your rainbow of colors with this healthy {vegetarian} Taco Salad!

This is one of our family favorites! We love it because it is so versatile, quick, and easy to prepare. You can basically cut up and add-in any fresh veggies you have on hand from your garden or market. {For meat lovers… you can grill up some chicken, or prepare ground turkey, or lean ground beef to add to the salad.} To be honest… I rarely use dressing, instead I mash up the avocado and add a dollop of salsa. {If you like sour cream or plain greek yogurt, it would make it even creamier!}

You will need

1 bunch of Romaine Lettuce or bag of Mixed Salad Greens, rinsed & chopped 2 Tomatoes , seeded & chopped 1 yellow Bell Pepper , cut into strips or pieces 3 Medium sized Carrots , grated 1 fresh Avocado , sliced {just prior to serving} 1 can of Black Beans , rinsed & drained 1 can of Kidney Beans , rinsed & drained ½ cup Queso Fresco Cheese {or similar}, crumbled Tortilla Chips {roughly crumbled on top of salad}, or Tortilla Strips
