Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/3 cup avocado oil (or your favorite neutral flavored oil)
1 tsp honey
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/8 tsp cracked black pepper
1 clove of garlic, pressed in a garlic press or finely minced
4 Tbs lime juice (approx 3 limes) *fresh preferred
2 Tbs apple cider vinegar
2 cups Instant Pot Pork Carnitas prepared and shredded
6 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup frozen corn, defrosted
1 avocado, peeled, pit removed and diced
1 lime, quartered
1/2 cup fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Combine the 1/3 cup oil, 1 tsp honey, 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp dried oregano, 1/8 tsp cracked black pepper, 1 clove garlic, 4 Tbs lime juice and 2 Tbs apple cider vinegar in a salad dressing bottle or glass jar and whisk until fully combined and set aside. The ingredients will settle, so you'll need to stir or shake before serving.
  • This recipe makes four servings, so portion out equal amounts of the lettuce, beans, tomatoes, corn, avocado and pork onto four plates or bowls and garnish with lime, cilantro and the prepared dressing. Use as much or little of the dressing as you like based on your preference.

TACO SALAD WITH LIME VINEGAR DRESSING



Taco Salad with Lime Vinegar Dressing image

This is a quick-to-throw-together taco salad that even picky family members will eat, as you can serve any of the ingredients on the side. I sometimes serve with taco shells and let my five-year-old make tacos out of the ingredients (minus the dressing for the salad). Serve salad with tortilla chips, avocado, cilantro, and Cheddar cheese to taste. Yum!

  • Add the oil to a large, deep saucepan or frying pan and place over high heat. You want to heat the oil until a small piece of tortilla placed in the oil begins to sizzle immediately, about 350°F. Be careful to not allow the oil to get so hot that it smokes. If that happens, move the pan off the heat immediately and allow to cool down slightly before placing it back over the heat. Adjust the burner heat as necessary to maintain the temperature.
  • Lay everything out on the counter or table top and allow everyone to build their salads as they wish. Suggested order: Lettuce, veggies, salsa vinaigrette, beans, carnitas, cheese, tortilla strips.
