Do you want to eat tacos but know you should probably eat a salad instead? For all of my fellow Weight Watching taco lovers out there I have a great solution for you. You will love this hearty and healthy turkey taco salad. This recipe makes five generous servings that are just 2 Weight Watcher FreeStyle Smart Points each! You can’t beat that.

This is a great website
Thanks! ?
The directions call for garlic but I don’t see it in the ingredient list. Do yo usually add garlic? If so, how much?
My apologies. I usually use 2 minced garlic cloves, but you could use as little or as much as you like. I will correct the recipe. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
