with Avocado Lime Dressing!
I’m keepin’ it #whole30approved this week for all of yall following the detox! This taco salad starts with the deliciously seasoned taco meat surrounded by fresh veggies and drizzled with a #whole30 avocado lime dressing for extra zippiness. Feel free to mix and match veggies based on your preferences, but I wouldn’t skip the pico de gallo — it adds so much fresh flavor and spice to the salad!
