I totaly forgot another salad with beans
, taco salad!
Make your favorite tossed salad with lettuce, cukes, tomatoes, celery, onion, and carrots. Brown a pound of ground beef, seasoned with salt, peppers, cumin, and chili powder to taste. Drain and chill in the fridge. Grate 1/2 lb. sharp cheddar cheese. Add ground beef to the salad, tossing to distribute the meat. Drain and rince 15 oz. can of kidney beans and mix into the salad. Fold in the grated cheese. Top with crushed tortilla chips and modified Russian salad dressing, or whatever salad dressing you love.
Modified Russian Dressing - I cheat here. I use store-bought salad dressing as the base. Empty 1 bottle of your favorite Russian salad dressing into a bowl. Mix in 1 tbs. chili powder. Put back into the original container (with a funnel) and let sit for a half hour. Enjoy.
