I could eat some version of tacos everyday. It’s not a joke or an exaggeration either. I really love taco everything, and this quick and easy Paleo taco salad is a bowl full of goodness I could eat anytime of day! So, whether it’s Taco Tuesday or just another day of the week you fancy, make this Paleo taco salad!
Quick + Easy FTW
I don’t know about you, but for us quick and easy always wins! Always! This Paleo taco salad will only take you about 25 minutes to prepare, and you’ll be completely satisfied with the combo of flavors and textures.
Simple Ingredients
We love simple ingredients and recipes you can adapt using whatever you have on hand. For this Paleo taco salad, we use ground turkey, but you could really use whatever option you have readily available, like ground chicken or beef. We haven’t tried it yet, but I bet ground pork would be pretty fantastic, too. Same goes for the veggies – if you have a favorite on hand, go ahead and add it on. Also, use whatever greens you enjoy most. When we made this to take photos, we used a combo of greens from our garden including Swiss chard and kale.
Don’t Forget About The Toppings
And toppings….toppings are the best part, so feel free to use whatever you love and have readily available for this Paleo taco salad! In this recipe we list tomatoes, olives, avocado, cilantro, etc. Those are our favorites, so make sure you use whatever fits your taste. BTW…did you know people either love or hate cilantro?! I read or heard somewhere that it either tastes great or people describe it as a soapy taste. So strange! We love it, but which camp are you in? Obviously, if it’s soapy for you, skip the cilantro.
