MExican Salads
ground beef and potato salad
A colorful, satisfying meal that combines lean protein, crispy potatoes, and fresh vegetables into one nourishing bowl. It's high in protein, rich in fiber, and incredibly filling—making it a great option for lunch or dinner.
Ingredients
For the Crispy Potatoes
Cherry potatoes, cut into bite-sized cubes
Olive oil spray
Salt & Black pepper, to taste
1 lb (450 g) 90% lean ground beef
1 bell pepper, diced
Curry powder, to taste
3–4 cups chopped lettuce & 3 chopped pickled cucumbers
1 tomato & 1 shallot, thinly sliced
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Lime or lemon wedges, for serving
Optional: Serve with any of the homemade sauces from the Sauce Collection on the website.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the potatoes until just fork-tender. Drain well and allow them to cool slightly.
Lightly spray the potatoes with olive oil, season with salt and black pepper, and air-fry until golden and crispy.
Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the lean ground beef until browned. Add the diced bell pepper, curry powder, salt, and black pepper, and continue cooking until the peppers are tender.
In a large serving bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, tomatoes, and shallots.
Top with the crispy potatoes and seasoned beef.
Finish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a generous squeeze of fresh lime or lemon juice. If desired, drizzle with one of the homemade sauces from the Sauce Collection.
Although many Mexican-inspired salads include beans, I intentionally left them out in this version. The combination of potatoes as the carbohydrate source and lean ground beef as the protein source already creates a well-balanced meal, making additional starches or legumes unnecessary unless you enjoy them.
