Low Brow Meets High Brow

Tonight, a taco salad with traditional low brow favorite ground beef, served over arugula and spinach (the high brow portion of tonight's offering):

Salad
1 lb. ground beef
1/2 cup diced bell pepper
1 4 oz. can green chile peppers
1 packet taco seasoning
1/3 cup water
Arugula
Spinach
Shredded Cheese
Cherry tomatoes, halved

Brown ground beef, sauteing peppers with beef.

Drain fat, if necessary, then add taco seasoning, green chiles and water.

Serve beef mixture over arugula, spinach and tomatoes.

Top with cheese and dressing.

Dressing
2/3 cup salsa (use your favorite, I had a medium one on hand)
1/3 cup plain yogurt

Mix well and serve over salad.

Somewhat to my surprise, the girls, including K, loved this salad. Oh, and the entire thing took me less than 20 minutes start to finish. (I know this because the timer was on to limit computer time for A!)
