Enchilada Salad

Taco salad is one of our favorite easy summer dinners. It does not require the oven, everyone loves it, and it is quick and easy to make. It is also a nice change from your basic tacos.

This summer I decided to change it up a little and make an enchilada salad. Enchilada salad is basically a taco salad with an enchilada dressing.

I loved this salad. It was the same basic flavors of a taco salad, but with an enchilada twist. The dressing does make a lot. It served us for several meals of this salad. We also used it on regular salad and on wraps.

I did not give exact measurements on the ingredients because you can really change it up and vary it for how you like it.

The olives are definitely optional, but if you are like my family and enjoy olives on Mexican food they are delicious on this salad!
