Gert Rosenau of Pewaukee, Wisconsin blends the best of two popular salads into one satisfying main dish. Serve taco or corn chips on the side, and you have a complete meal, she says.
Ingredients:
2 cups uncooked spiral pasta
1 pound ground turkey or beef
1 envelope taco seasoning
3 cups shredded lettuce
2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup catalina salad dressing
tortilla chips
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the taco seasoning; cool.
2. Drain pasta and rinse in cold water; stir into meat mixture. Add the lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, onion, green pepper and dressing; toss to coat. Serve with tortilla chips. Yield: 6 servings.
