    Plant-Based Layered Taco Salads with Easy Avocado Dressing

    You can enjoy eating your vegetables in a new way with these simple layered taco salads. The recipe incorporates some unique ingredients into a goddess-style avocado dressing that’s completely plant-based and dairy-free. It looks pretty and is easy to pack along in mason jars, but you can simply toss the salad together if preferred.

    Plant-Based Layered Taco Salads with Easy Avocado Dressing

    These simple layered taco salads are loaded with crunchy fresh produce and vegan protein sources. You can certainly mix up the layers with whatever you have on hand, or omit any ingredients that you aren’t a fan of.

    The original recipe uses a little queso fresco on top, but we either omit it, or substitute a dairy-free feta. Although not identical, when used in such a small amount, dairy-free feta is a good substitute for queso fresco. I like to use the feta recipe from Go Dairy Free, but there are additional options. You can purchase Violife Feta or Follow Your Heart Feta, or make your own Almond Feta.

    The zesty cilantro-lime avocado dressing is drizzled on between the layers to add flavor with every bite. You can puree the dressing ingredients for a smoother salad dressing, if preferred. If you aren't concerned with presentation, go ahead and toss this salad together!
