Taco Salad at the Buffet

I use the dinner size plate and go to the salad section to cover my plate with iceburg lettuce (you could use other types of lettuce and even throw in some spinach leaves) then I go to the hot food section to put the taco meat over the lettuce. Then add whatever you like for a taco. I used salsa, assorted grated cheeses and sour cream.

They had nachos that I put all around my plate for the visual appeal and to use to "dip" my taco salad.

It was really very good and when I'm not in the mood for the typical cold salad this is a good alternative.

Fresh Spinach and Strawberry Salad

I had this at a family gathering and it was very good and visually appealing.
It's not a new recipe, just new to me.

Put fresh, uncooked spinach leaves on a plate and add fresh, clean, sliced strawberries. Drizzle with a good balsalmic vinegar dressing and add sesame seeds for extra taste and texture if desired. Also for extra protein.

This dish is very fresh and tasty. The strong visual appeal is enhanced by using colors that are opposites on the color wheel.

This salad looks like Christmas on a plate.

Welcome and Enjoy!
