Free Mexican Beef Salad Recipe
This salad is something of a true Mexican treat, packed with true Mexican flavors, textures, and aromatics. Plus, it’s got the incredible crunch factor you dig in a salad bowl.
Now when people think of Mexican foods they think of enchiladas, chips and salsa, fajita, or tacos. With this salad, you’ll discover another traditional Mexican relish.
Mexican Beef Salad is fresh, cheesy, crunchy, herbaceous, and mildly spicy. It features tenderly browned ground beef cooked in spicy aromatics nestled in a bowl full of juicy red cherry tomatoes, olives, lettuce, freshly-chopped scallion, and a handful of shredded cheddar cheese.
The beef and cheese enrich the salad with that extra satisfying, luscious, fulfilling quality.
Drizzle a low-carb Ranch dressing (or another keto dressing of your choice) and munch away!
