Taco Salad

This is a great summer meal! Easy to whip up, won't heat up the house, and so savory! The best thing about this salad is that you can mix it up with ingredients to whatever you enjoy!

What I used:
1 Cucumber, peeled and cut up into bite size pieces
2 roma tomatoes, cut up
1lb. ground beef
crushed Doritos
Creamy French dressing
Top with sour cream

Cook up your beef. While your beef is browning get your cucumber and tomatoes cut up. Put them in your salad bowl. Add beef and crushed doritos. Mix together with enough salad dressing to your taste. I didn't measure the amount.

From our table to yours, bon appetite!
