What’s great about this salad is that you can prepare the ingredients in advance and assemble them when you ready without any problem. So it’s perfect for lunch or to make the day before for dinner the next day when you know that it’s going to be a busy day.
One of the spices you will find in this taco salad is cumin a spice obtained from the seeds of the plant Cuminum, an annual herbaceous plant that has long been used in traditional medicine.
