Taco Salad | Friday Foodie Feature
Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!
Today’s Friday Foodie Feature is dedicated to
MY BEST FRIEND FOR LIFE, KAREN!
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAREN!
In the late 80’s, my hubby who at the time was my fiance and I went to Fort Lee, NJ, to visit her at her mother’s house. She had just flown in from Cali with her first born son, RJ and for lunch she made a Taco Salad. Neither one of us had ever had it and it was also the first time I had ever eaten an avocado. I fell in love with the recipe and over the years, have made it during the warmer months. Last week when I chose to make it for this week’s feature I didn’t realize that it would be on her Birthday! Further proof that we were meant to be friends for life!
This is such an easy-to-prepare salad and my men simply loves it, Malik was having a fit because he had to wait until I took the pictures!
