Recipe: Brocco Taco Salad (using broccoli slaw)

BROCCO TACO SALAD

1 (1 pound) bag Mann's Broccoli Cole Slaw
1 (8 oz) can red kidney beans, drained
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (4 oz)
1 large tomato, diced
1 (2 1/4 oz) can sliced black olives, drained
1/4 cup finely-chopped red onion
1/2 cup Thousand Island salad dressing
1/4 cup salsa
1 pound ground beef or ground turkey (optional)
1 (10 1/2 ounce) bag corn chips, such as Fritos (or tortilla chips)
salt and freshly-ground black pepper (to taste)

In a large bowl, combine Mann's Broccoli Cole Slaw, kidney beans, Cheddar cheese, tomato, olives, and onion, tossing to mix well.

Add salad dressing and salsa, tossing again to coat. (Salad can be made up to this point 24 hours in advance, cover, and refrigerate.)

IF USING THE GROUND BEEF/TURKEY OPTION:
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef, stirring to break up the chunks of meat, until nicely browned on the outside and no trace of pink remains, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool. Add to salad mixture before adding salad dressing and toss well to mix.

Servings: 6-8 as an entree
