Recipe Notes
We packed this dressing separately to prevent the avocado from going brown. Pack the dressing in an air-tight container and press plastic wrap directly on the dressing to keep it fresh and green.
We opted for a vegetarian taco salad, but you can add 1/2 cup of ground beef to this salad on the side.
Perfect Pairing
Serve this Mason Jar Taco Salad with Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies for a complete lunch.
