Perfect for quick snack or “girl dinner”, this Nacho Salad is filled with the freshness of veggies and a tangy dressing. An absolute crowd pleaser.
I’ve been seeing a lot of videos of this Nacho Salad on Tiktok lately. So I thought, we already love Taco Salad and it’s almost the same except for the meat. What the heck — I’m giving this a try.
So this is what Ykaie and I had for lunch today. This is the easiest of all recipes — no cooking needed at all. All you need is to grab all the ingredients and combine them. I suggest you make the dressing ahead of time — about 1-2 hours to give the ingredients a chance to marry.
NACHO SALAD RECIPE VIDEO
To make the dressing, I combined mayo, milk, garlic, lemon juice, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. You may substitute water if you don’t have milk, use calamansi juice if you don’t have lemon, and alternative sweetener if you don’t like brown sugar.
Just combine this with the lettuce, tomato, onion, cucumber, and corn kernels and you have a healthy dip/topping for your nacho chips. This makes for a great snack or even a quick meal if you want something light.
I think I’ll be doing a lot more of this but I’ll definitely tweak the dressing recipe a little to suit my taste.

We make a taco salad, but it is a bit different from this one. I haven’t had something like this before. Sounds quite tasty!
