Taco Salad Bar

By Jessica Campbell, MS, FNTP

Growing up, one of my favorite dishes was tacos. My mom made this once a week, so it was very familiar and it meant small dishes of ingredients that I was allowed to choose from. There is something about control over what we eat, that kids just love. Now I make taco salad bar which is essentially the same thing, but provides a new perspective on salads. My five year old, who declared he is "allergic to salad" even serves himself a "nachos" style taco salad on these nights and heaps on the avocado that he is proud of slicing on his own.
