Old Fashion Salad Recipes: Farmer's Layered Taco Salad and Cajun Pepper Salad

Whether for an entree or as a side dish, salads are always popular.  Here are a couple of recipes from my vintage collection for a Farmer's Layered Taco Salad from Indiana and a Cajun Pepper Salad.  Give these salads a try soon.

FARMER'S LAYERED TACO SALAD

1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 pkt (1.25-oz) taco seasoning mix
1 can (15-oz) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups shredded lettuce
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 can ripe olives, drained and chopped
1 can (8-oz) tomato sauce
1 1/2 cups crushed corn chips
1 cup chopped fresh tomatoes
Sour cream, optional
Salsa, optional

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef with the onion. Drain mixture well. Sprinkle the taco seasoning mix over the meat and onion mixture. Stir in the kidney beans and the tomato sauce. Cook mixture over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

To assemble: In a large bowl make layers of lettuce, corn chips, meat mixture, ripe olives, cheddar cheese, tomatoes, and top with sour cream, if desired. Top with or serve with your favorite salsa, if desired.

CAJUN PEPPER SALAD
This is an adaptation of a recipe I saw years ago in a woman's magazine.

DRESSING:
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tsp chopped fresh basil
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp prepared horseradish
1/2 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp thyme
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1/4 tsp paprika
1/8 tsp ground red pepper

Place all ingredients in a blender container and blend until mixture is a dressing.

PEPPERS:
1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
1 yellow bell pepper
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, sliced thin
1 green onion including top, sliced
2 medium tomatoes, seeded and diced

Slice all the bell peppers into 1/4-inch thick rings. Layer peppers and cucumber evenly on 4 salad plates. Sprinkle with the green onion. Spoon tomatoes over each plate. Drizzle with the dressing above.

Yield: 4 servings.

Enjoy!
