Vegan Taco Salad (no meat subs)

We made a trip to Trader Joe's earlier this week (there isn't one in town, so I really only get to go if I happen to be in Portland). John was requesting salad for dinner, but thats always a tough one because if there is no meat involved we end up being hungry again within a couple of hours. But it was a really hot day and we were trying to eat 'light' - even faux meats seemed too 'heavy'.... so vegan salad (with no meat substitutes) it was!

At Trader Joe's I picked up two types of salsa (salsa verde and corn & chile salsa)

 
and a bag of multi-grain nacho chips (also Trader Joe's brand), which I crumbled up a bit



I also made up a batch of pico de gallo



and added some chopped lettuce and shredded cabbage


Voila! A fast and easy taco salad - and nobody even missed the meat or cheese, until later that night when we got hungry again! So we gave this meal a 2 out of 3 stars, just because it wasn't as filling as it could have been. Maybe try adding black beans?
