    Ramen noodle taco salad is a great meatless Monday meal. The crunchy ramen noodles add a great texture to this salad along with an easy homemade dressing full of fiesta flavor.

    Even though I am a food blogger, my kids are picky eaters. We have the 3 bite taste rule in the house but they still play it safe when it comes to their meal choices. The one thing that has surprised me is that my 4 year old loves black beans. So I always try to keep a stock of black beans in the pantry.

    How to make Ramen Taco Salad

    • For this salad, crush up some ramen noodles. You can get rid of the seasoning packs or save them for something else. I usually just place the noodles in a bag and hit them with a rolling pin to break them apart.
    • Similar to the crunchy romaine salad, place the noodles in a pan with a little butter and cook them for 5 minutes. This softens them just a bit and adds some flavor.
    • Next toss all of your ingredients together in a big bowl. Black beans are the main protein of this salad but you could easily add some diced chicken or ground beef.
    • The dressing is made with sour cream, a little milk, salsa and taco seasoning mix. It adds some nice spice to the meal.

    Other great add-ins for this salad:

    • Black Olives
    • Avocado
    • Shredded or Chopped Chicken
    • Diced Jalapenos
