    Layered Taco Salad

    One of the things that keeps me motivated to eat salad, other than when it's summer, is to include something hot — both in terms of actual heat and spice. This layered taco salad, a cousin to loaded nachos, couldn’t be easier to make. The heat is supplied by a layer of Amy’s Chili (for convenience), and the spice by chili peppers or salsa. If you’d like to go DIY, this is also an excellent way to use leftover Classic Veggie Chili. This will keep you full and satisfied for hours. Photos by Evan Atlas.
