the nacho salad looks great. i might have to give it a try here.
Thanks for the menu ideas and the really helpful tools.
I made the nacho salad last night. It was sooo easy and delish! However, I used Italian dressing instead of salsa. I know, sounds weird. My hubby and son distracted me at the grocery store last night and I completely forgot the salsa. I didn’t realize it was missing until we were already making the nacho salad. The only thing I had on hand was the italalian dressing. Thanks Danelle for the recipe and menu plan! I will definately make this again and next time I will try it with salsa!
@Jenara: I’m glad to know that the recipe worked out even with Italian dressing! As long as the family doesn’t complain, I count my meals a success! :)
Thanks for letting us know how it turned out. Talk to you soon!
