Let’s taco-bout a salad (ya, I know …..very cheesy but it just came flooding to the forefront!). Anyway, I’m here to chat about the easiest Taco Salad you’ll ever make — ever! Taco Salad using a DNX Grass-Fed Beef Bar is seriously the quickest and easiest meal you’ll ever toss together.
I had the opportunity to munch on a few samples at Expo West this past March. I have actually tried DNX bars a couple of years prior and I really did like them but honestly, don’t remember them being as good as I’d remembered. Each and every bar was so good BUT I kept going back to the Mexican Style (and not because I’m hispanic!) but because it was seriously reminiscent of a taco! Yes – eat these bars as is and enjoy for a quick fuel, especially for trips or hikes etc. but these bars make an excellent protein addition to a salad. AND guys – these bars are WHOLE 30 approved!!!
DNX Bar is Born
Here’s a bit of info on the DNX Grass-Fed Beef Bars. John Rooney, the founder, made the decision to change his unhealthy, sedentary lifestyle and embark on a fitness and wellness journey. While doing so, he noticed that there weren’t a lot of clean and nutritious food options that were portable and didn’t find snack bars as palatable as he’d hoped. He decided to take matters into his own hands by working with a team of culinary professionals and alas, DNX Bar was born! It’s 100% clean and nutrient dense with organic and wholesome ingredients. These convenient bars combine grass-fed beef & bison and free range chicken with organic fruits and vegetables.
Meal in a Bar
I’m not really a huge fan of eating my meal in bar form but I will admit, these bars fill you up! They aren’t just a “hold you over” kind of snack bar, they truly do fill you up with all your nutrient needs so you don’t ever feel like you’ve got to run through that drive-thru! Just keep these in your purse, gym bag or even diaper bag so you’re always ready to fuel up when you just can’t get in a full on meal. And speaking of diaper bags – these bars are kid friendly! What a great resource to hand over to your child while running errands or what have you.
Taco Salad using DNX Grass-Fed Beef Bar
Alrighty – so let’s get to the salad! It was actually perfect timing to try out the Mexican Style bar in my salad because I was home alone, it was hot and I did not want to turn on the oven! I grabbed my bar and decided to dice it all up and toss on some cabbage slaw with taco fixings. OMG. It worked like a charm and tasted amazing! While it was salad for one, I am pretty sure I’ll keep many on hand – especially in the summer months – so I can just toss this together again without any thought or hassle. This Taco Salad using the Mexican Style Bar will be happening a lot!
