So, my boyfriend and I made new year resolutions: eat healthier, lose weight and stay healthy! This means, yummy, buttery, fattening things are cut out of our diet. :(
Well, last night we made it our meal. Taco salad! Yum! If you all remember, I posted about homemade taco seasoning a short while ago. I used it with ground turkey (no more ground beef unless it is a special occasion) and it turned out great! Along with this I wanted to make a healthier "Mexican" inspired salad dressing. What goes good on a taco salad? Well, sour cream and avocado are what come to mind for me...
This was intriguing to me so, I came up with a nice Avocado Dressing for the taco salad.
Avocado Dressing
2 large avocados
1 cup greek yogurt (or sour cream)
1/3 cup olive oil
3 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp hot sauce (or more, to taste)
2 tsp salt
Place all ingredients in a blender, blend until smooth (it will be a thicker texture, similar to sour cream).
Once finished making the dressing. Make your salad on your plate:
Romaine lettuce, taco meat, tortilla chips, black beans, salsa, etc.
Place 2 large scoops of the avocado dressing (or however much you want) onto your plate of salad. Toss, and ENJOY!
