      8-Layer Taco Salad

      High Protein Diabetes-Friendly Egg-Free No Shellfish Nut-Free Gluten-Free American Mexican Dinner Salad

      8-Layer Taco Salad

      High Protein Diabetes-Friendly Egg-Free No Shellfish Nut-Free Gluten-Free American Mexican Dinner Salad
      about 10 cups
      Prep time: 30 minutes
      Total time: 30 minutes

      Description

      This gorgeous and colorful 8-layer taco salad recipe is made healthier by using ground turkey in place of beef, adding Greek yogurt and bumping up the amount of vegetables. Serve this salad in a clear glass bowl and you’ll have an eye-catching party-worthy dinner or potluck side in just 30 minutes.

      Directions

      1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add turkey, chili powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring and breaking up lumps, until cooked through, about 5 minutes.
      2. Meanwhile, mash avocado, yogurt and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl with a fork until smooth.
      3. Transfer the turkey and any juice from the pan to a serving bowl. Layer chips, salsa, beans and lettuce over the turkey. Spread the avocado mixture over the lettuce. Top with cheese, then tomato.
