I may enjoy the indulgences of cookies, wine and ice cream on weekends but during the week I am pretty good about sticking to eating good and healthy! In the summer especially, salads are my go to! I’m not talking boring lettuce, tomato, cucumber sort of salads. I’m talking tons of fresh flavors, bright colors, and very satisfying sort of salad! This Turkey Taco Salad with Lime Vinaigrette totally hits the spot! Lean ground turkey cooked up with red onion and bell pepper, seasoned with chili powder, cumin, oregano and garlic powder. Crunchy romaine lettuce, black beans, juicy tomatoes, black olives and to top it all off, some crisp tortilla strips and a very simple lime dressing! Delicious!!!
Heres the funny thing about salads. Some restaurants have a real skill at killing a salad, as in making it less healthy to eat a salad then a big fat cheeseburger. The benefit of making this awesome salad at home is that you get to control what goes in heck its so much cheaper! This recipe gives you a lot of delicious meat so if you have leftover turkey, its great over brown rice and a side of grilled vegetables. Also great for a taco filling!

I love turkey tacos! I don’t eat a lot of red meat but I love some turkey, gobble gobble! Ugh excuse me. I don’t know where that came from. I’ve never thought of squeezing limes in my beloved tacos, thanks for sharing. I hope you’ve had a great day!

Leslie, I send a gobble gobble back! I love using ground turkey and chicken in place of ground beef! The lime is great! Adds a lovely brightness.

Thanks so much Jen!!! I love it because it really is simple but like you said, jam packed with flavor! The vinaigrette does add a great acidic punch to the salad, love it!

I love taco salad and this sounds like a good one. I don’t usually put black olives in my taco salads, but i like them on pizza so I’ll have to try it sometime.
Angela LeMoine
Thank you! Its funny, i’m not sure how the black olive thing started because you certainly don’t see it at a Mexican restaurant…. must have been my mom haha. Enjoy!
