I followed the recipe as written -- wow, delicious! We thought the olives, pickles, and chips added enough salt. I used about 1 tsp. garlic salt when browning the meat, plus about 1/4 tsp. garlic powder. My husband loved it!

This recipe was a hit! With a few alterations (seasoning the taco meat with fajita seasoning, adding corn, using pinto beans instead of kidney beans, and using salsa instead of taco sauce), my whole family devoured it and came back for seconds! I also put the salad on a bed of Spicy Nacho Doritos to give it a little more kick! This dish will definitely be added into our meal rotations!

Made this for a girls party this weekend. The salad was great but the dressing was only average. I didn't toss it in, but kept it on the side so people could sample it and choose. Most people chose to forego the dressing as listed in the recipe and instead use ranch dressing.

Was good, but needed something to make great. Added corn, used lowfat mayo, added extra salsa on top, but it just missed.

I have used this recipe several times, substituted left over Turkey for the ground turkey and it works beautifully! We also are not big on olives in my family so we just double the amount of dill pickle and leave out the olives, it is a tasty, satisfying meal in itself. If you use low fat mayonaise and cut it down a little using the juice from the dill pickles, just a little to thin the mayonaise then you have made it a low fat meal as well. We all love it!

Yummy taco salad. Left out the beans and pickles though. Kids and hubby liked. Will make again!

My hubbie had three helpings - a sure sign of success! I switched the beans/pickles/olives for tomatoes and corn for a more kid-friendly approach. So yummy!

We just had this for supper for the first time. It was very good! The dressing is excellent. I used salsa and taco sauce for the dressing. Also, I used Romaine lettuce, added chopped tomatoes, omitted the olives, and used ground chicken. I will make this again.

This was great! Instead of 2 c mayo, I used 1/2 c mayo and 1/2 sour cream. I mixed in the dressing at the last minute so the lettuce would not get soggy. Will make again.
