This taco salad is what literal dreams are made of. It's high protein, vegetarian, colorful and full of flavor! I made walnut "meat" by blending toasted walnuts with tomato paste and taco seasoning. You get the same delicious taco taste with a little crunch that crumbles perfectly. The sauce for this couldn't be easier, all you do is mix together greek yogurt and salsa and drizzle.
I can't wait for you to try it! Enjoy xo
