Taco Salad

Posted in /Cooking/Side_Dishes/Salads on Tuesday, February 05, 2019


This is one of the first labs I do with my grade 10s. They love it...even though there are "beans" in it! I use this one because it has meat and veggies, so there is the possibility of cross-contamination. So far (knock-on-wood) I have not had a single student cut their veggies on the same cutting board as they're meat!

Yield: 4 Salads
