Since going Paleo my family has fallen even more in love with our grill. Paleo and grilling just work well together. The past couple of years I've even been stepping outside my grilling comfort zone more and more. Grilling things I'd never thought to have grilled before and trying new flavor combinations. I have to say I'm pretty thrilled with the results of most of my flavor experiments. In the past I'd never have thought to grill fruit, but it's amazing. Grilling fruit and adding it to traditionally savory dishes? Brilliant. Oh yes, and? New rule: every burger recipe for the rest of forever must contain grilled pineapple. OK, maybe more of a guideline. It's a seriously delicious combination though. This Smoky Grilled Pineapple Burger is always a crowd-pleaser at my house. It's not only Paleo, but Whole30, glutenfree, lower carb, and clean eating friendly. I promise you won't miss the bun! paleo, grilled pineapple burger, smoky...
My family has always loved taco salad. Personally, I'm a big fan because it’s super easy to throw together on a crazy-busy-rush-around-weeknight. It's a go-to weeknight meal for me and frequents my menu planning board. My kids love it because it’s just plain good! I consider it a win-win.
Traditional taco salad recipes, however, include a lot of ingredients that aren’t exactly on my nice list. Gone are the days of busting out a bag of chips and cheesy salsa dip to go with a taco salad! Let's be honest, it was barely anything you should call a salad. Plus, as a paleo family things like kidney beans don't make the cut either.
I struggled with taco salads for a while. After some trial and error I think I have them down again. This lightened-up, keto paleo-friendly version of taco salad keeps all of the taste and none of the junk. Bonus? It's gluten-free and completely Whole30 compliant!

Try serving this topped with sliced black olives (my kids love it that way). If you do dairy, try a sprinkle of your favorite shredded cheese or a dollop of sour cream (unless you're doing Whole30 or dairy-free of course, then NO cheese or sour cream).
Try it! It’s so good; I promise you won’t miss the chips.
