LIME VINAIGRETTE
My family and I have been enjoying this lime vinaigrette recipe for so long, I don't even remember where I got it from. Sometimes I add dried basil and anchovy paste to add a little variation to the dressing. -Marian Brown, Mississauga, Ontario

TACO SALAD WITH LIME VINEGAR DRESSING
This is a quick-to-throw-together taco salad that even picky family members will eat, as you can serve any of the ingredients on the side. I sometimes serve with taco shells and let my five-year-old make tacos out of the ingredients (minus the dressing for the salad). Serve salad with tortilla chips, avocado, cilantro, and Cheddar cheese to taste. Yum!

EMILY'S DRESSING FOR TACO SALAD
I'm not a fan of dry taco salad but couldn't ever find a dressing I was a fan of. So I threw together a few things, and voila! A delicious dressing that is worthy of taco salad.
