VEGETARIAN TACO SALAD - LOW FAT



Vegetarian Taco Salad - Low Fat image

No meat or meat substitutes - great for winter days when fresh veggies are hard to find. Yummy vegetarian taco salad that even my 11 year old enjoys. Polenta corn chips have only 3.5g of fat per ounce - I use SOLEA polenta chips.

CREAMY VEGETARIAN TACO PASTA SALAD



Creamy Vegetarian Taco Pasta Salad image

I kinda fudged this recipe while using the stuff in my fridge for a side dish to make and take to a pig roast. I didn't use meat since the pork at the roast was the star of the show, but I'm sure you could cook up some taco flavored beef or chicken to add to this for a heartier salad. You can also adjust the temp of the salsa or use spicy taco seasoning to add a little more heat (I used medium since the kids were eating it and no one complained).

Time 20m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

16 ounces spiral shaped pasta
1 cup light sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 cup salsa
1 (1 ounce) envelope taco seasoning
1 (14 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14 ounce) can corn, drained
1 (8 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained (optional)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
chopped lettuce, for serving
Doritos or regular tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to package directions. When done, drain and rinse with cold water to stop it from cooking further.
  • While the pasta is cooking, mix sour cream, mayonnaise, taco seasoning and salsa in a medium sized bowl.
  • Place cooked pasta in a large bowl (I used the bowl that I am going to use to serve it) and add corn, black beans, and olives (if using). Stir to combine.
  • If serving immediately, go to the next step. If you are making ahead of time, cover the pasta mixture and sauce mixture in their separate bowls and keep in the fridge overnight or until you are ready to serve it (plus, this seems to make the sauce taste better).
  • About a half hour before serving (but probably not more than 2 hours before), add the shredded cheese to the pasta mixture and stir to combine.
  • Pour the sauce mixture overall and stir until well coated.
  • Serve with shredded lettuce and Doritos or tortilla chips to crush over the top of the salad. You can also stir these items in, but they get soggy and don't make for great leftovers.

VEGETARIAN TACO PASTA SALAD



Vegetarian Taco Pasta Salad image

I wanted a salad like this but couldn't really find anything that fit the bill and decided to create one...this is it! The kids eat it like crazy! A really good taco pasta salad without meat...you could add it if you wanted to...but why when this is sooo tasty!! Please note that this salad gets better if made the day or even two before. If you don't like spicy you can use regular taco seasoning instead of the hot and spicy, and leave out the jalapenos. Not really sure how long to make this so it's a guess but that doesn't include the chilling time.

1 (18 ounce) package radiatore, cooked and drained

2 (15 ounce) corn (drained)
3 -4 green onions, chopped

  • pour sauce over the pasta bowl, add the cheese to your liking and stir till well coated.
  • Chill for 1 hour -- although this is better the more it ages so can be made a day or two ahead.

  • bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add your pasta, and cook according to the package instructions. When finished cooking, rinse the pasta with cold water to bring it down to room temperature – otherwise it will par-cook the fresh ingredients.
  • Sear the Corn (Optional): While the pasta is cooking, add the frozen corn kernels to a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring the corn occasionally to cook all of the liquid out. The corn will start to brown around the edges and brown “bits” will appear on the bottom of the pan; once the corn is seared to your liking, add 2-3 tablespoons of water to the pan and use a wooden spoon to scrape the bits off of the pan and onto the corn. Cook until all of the water is evaporated, then set aside. If you don’t want to sear your corn, simply thaw and add to the pasta salad with the rest of the vegetables.
  • Add the chilled pasta, seared corn, tomatoes, black beans, onion, cilantro stems, and vegan cheese (optional) to the bowl; use a spatula to gently mix everything together until all pieces are coated in dressing. Divide the pasta salad into serving bowls, then top with avocado and cilantro leaves (or as desired). Leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days, but this is best served the day it is made.

  • To make the creamy taco dressing: Mix the taco seasoning, sour cream, ranch dressing, and lime juice together in a small bowl. Set aside. (See note below.)
  • To make the pasta salad and assemble: If you want to grill the corn (therefore, you won't be using thawed frozen corn or canned corn), heat a grill to medium-high and cook the corn for 8 to 10 minutes, turning it every few minutes. Once it starts to char/brown on all sides, remove it from the grill and let it cool for 10 minutes. Slice the corn off the cob with a sharp knife while holding it perpendicular to the counter.
  • In a very large bowl, mix all of the pasta salad ingredients together. Stir in the taco dressing until all of the salad ingredients are well-coated. Serve immediately or chill for up to 2 hours before serving. (See note below.)
