If you love Mexican food, you’ll love this taco salad. It is basically your standard taco converted into a tortilla-free version for a low-carb diet. A salad, without a taco shell, can still be delicious and just as filling as having multiple tacos without all the carbs!
This salad starts with chopped romaine lettuce, which is topped with tomatoes, corn, black beans, avocado and shaved red onion. A drizzle of homemade dressing goes over the top, then the salad is tossed until everything is coated.
Mexican Avocado Salad is a spinoff of guacamole and, as you’ll notice, most of the ingredients are the same. Serve it as is, or omit the lettuce, mix the avocado into the tomato mixture, and serve as a salsa over grilled chicken or fish.
