This was delicious! I loved the crunch of the cabbage and the creaminess of the dressing! I actually forgot to add the rice, but it was still amazing! I will definitely be making this again!

This recipe is great. It is easy to prepare and taste is even better than regular taco salad. It’s been only two months to practice vegan so I was having a hard time finding healthy and yummy vegan recipes. I think the avocado skillet will be my favorite place to come.
I appreciate her sharing and ideas!

This salad dressing is simply life changing. I made some tweaks for my personal taste. I used jasmine rice instead of quinoa, put the avocado on the salad rather than on the dressing to avoid browning, added impossible meat with fajita seasoning for extra protein, and used a spring mix instead of cabbage. BUT THE DRESSING makes all the difference, its almost like a Mexican take on a green goddess. Solid recipe, amazing for meal prep.
