I used Garbanzo beans instead of Kidney Beans. Very refreshing and light. We love it. - 6/10/12

Tried turkey in it and didn't care for it at all. However, lean hamburger or chicken breast is something that we love in our taco salads. The red kidney beans are awesome in it! Rating based on the turkey part of the recipe. - 6/10/12

This was great, but I made a few alterations. I used black beans, instead of kidney (which are not my favorite), and sauted the bell peppers and onions. As additional toppings, I had lowfat yogurt, and avocado- yum. I think you could have done without turkey, and it still would have been delish. - 8/21/12

Make w/Chef Meg's Taco seasoning, or just use chili powder. Can sub black beans for kidney beans. Can sub buffalo meat for turkey. - 7/18/14

Just loved it! I put the portions, layered in a mason jar. Now I have my vacuum sealed salad in a jar. Thank you SP STEPF for this great meal. - 11/5/13

I made this and liked it, BUT it sure would have been nice to have all the ingredients for the recipe listed in the recipe so it would have been easier to just follow the recipe. Wish she had thought about that so i didn't have to rewrite it. - 6/10/12

I followed the directions exactly and thought it was great! Then I read the comments...lots of different ways to make with different meats, veggies, toppings. This is definitely a keeper! - 8/4/13

My mouth is watering! I'll need to use some other beans though - black-eyed sounds good, or navy beans. My stomach can cope with these, but not kidney beans.
It just sounds like a great idea. - 6/10/13

Great reminder for my empty nest one person household. Preparation size can be easily modified for one or two. For years, I used this form of recipe (varied the protein as I felt the urge or what type was in the refrigerator/pantry). It is a quick meal that the family loved and nutritious. - 6/10/13

You can make it vegetarian by using Morningstar's already made frozen TVP. I do it all the time. - 6/11/12
