Great salad. I used olive oil in place of the veg oil, added some cumin and used fat free sour cream and reduced fat cheddar cheese to lower the caloric value. Very filling and satisfying meal!

This is a fantastic salad! We used fresh lime juice rather than lemon juice & was "generous" with the seasonings and hot sauce in the dressing. In the salad we added black beans, fresh corn, hot peppers, & celery (left out the shrimp). At serving time, we crumbled the corn chips over top and then we added some diced avocado & a little salsa. Served with cheese quesadillas (yum!) Will be making this often! Thanks for sharing your recipe!

This was great! I probably added more spice then the recipe called for, and had to add a touch more oil to thin the dressing enough to get it out of the blender. But it was excellent and very easy! I didn't have shrimp but did have a freezer full of chicken, so I sauteed a couple of breasts with all-purpose poultry seasoning, shredded, and threw in with all of the stray salad fixings from the fridge. From defrosting the chicken to serving wsa a total of about 15 minutes... perfect for after work.

This was a nice twist of a salad to serve with Mexican dishes. I made a few changes and was pleased with how the dish came out: - I used shredded taco lettuce instead of torn leaves and used halved grape tomatoes. It made it more of a slaw so the bites were finer than they would have been as a standard salad. - Since it was a side dish, I didn't use shrimp or tuna. - I didn't find the dressing to offer enough coverage (and I think that's because of my shredded lettuce choice), so I added about a quarter cup of ranch dressing to the food processor once I made the dressing. - We all agreed that the dressing needed a teensy bit more zip - some thought vinegar, others more hot sauce or chili powder. But, all in all, it was a pretty salad that appealed to both our men and women guests.

I don't eat shrimp, so I used the tuna suggestion instead. Otherwise made exactly as the recipe says and it was delicious. A nice alternative to a traditional taco salad. My husband does not like salads as a whole meal, but this one filled him up.
