Potluck Taco Salad
I found this recipe in an old school cookbook, and I've taken it to many potlucks since then. The layers look so pretty in a glass bowl. —Sandy Fynaardt, New Sharon, Iowa

I like black beans instead of kidney beans & Ranch dressing or sweet French
Love this salad. I used Italian dressing instead of the thousand island and next time I make it, I will use green onions instead of the red...otherwise, this recipe is a keeper.
Pretty and tasty in a glass bowl. We didn't care for the salad dressing, that would be my only change for making next time-perhaps a taco ranch dressing next round. Fantastic potluck dish!
I have been making this salad for over 30 years. My family loves it. The only thing different, I use Green Goddess, but whatever dressing you choose to use, the salad is still delicious.
My family of men love this and so do I. I could only rate this four stars,but it should be more like ten. I fixed it today for Labor Day instead of the traditional cookout. We love it.
I made this last night and must say it was really good. The layering of the salad ingredients in a glass bowl makes such an enticing presentation. I did not use the Thousand Island dressing as my husband does not like (but I do intend to use it another time on the side just to try). I served the salad with separate medium salsa and sour cream in bowls so we could just add what we wanted to. Will make again for sure.
This salad is awesome, sometimes I season the beef taco style,. Sometimes not!! All of our kids love this for dinner but some use a Catalina French dressing. Try it with broken Doritos for more flavor.
Good, simple salad.
Made this for supper tonight! Delicious, and went together so easily. Will definitely make again!
I pretty much do the same thing. I use refried beans, I add quaqamole (sp) and sour cream, and no dressing. I heat it up w/o the lettuce so the cheese and beans melt and heat up. I then add the lettuce. So good.
