Taco Pasta Salad Recipe It also added olives. I would recommend cubing the cheese as the shredded cheese clumped together. The salad was tasty and delicious.

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning

1/2 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup chopped green pepper

1/2 cup Catalina salad dressing

2 cups uncooked spiral pasta

2 cups halved cherry tomatoes

3 cups shredded lettuce

Tortilla chips

Method:

Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the taco seasoning; cool.

Drain pasta and rinse in cold water; stir into meat mixture.

Add the lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, onion, green pepper and dressing; toss to coat.

Serve with tortilla chips.
