Taco Salad - 8 PP

A simple taco salad seems like the perfect place to start our blog.  My daughter loves tacos and we have this about once a week.  If you stick around, you will learn that I loathe fat free food.  For one, it doesn't taste as good.  Second, when fat is removed something else is normally added.  I prefer to use less of the full fat or low fat products.

Personally,  the chips and cheese make this salad feel rich. However, you can lower the points by using a baked tortilla chip or a fat free cheese.   You can really load up on the veggies without adding any points, too!

Tip . . . if having a full bag of chips is too much of a temptation, just purchase a snack size bag.
