Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 c. Taco TVP rehydrate
  • 1 1/2 c. Red Tomatoes diced
  • 1 1/2 c. THRIVE Tomato Dices - Freeze Dried Optional replacement for tomatoes - rehydrate
  • 1 1/2 c. Tomato Option - Use Grape or Cherry Tomatoes instead of the others listed
  • 6 c. Spring Mix (Earthbound Farms Organic)
  • 3/4 c. Catalina Dressing
  • 1 c. THRIVE Shredded Cheddar Cheese - Freeze Dried Optional (Not rehydrated)
  • 1 pkg Nacho Cheese Tortilla Chips (regular size bag approx 10 ounce)

Directions

  1. Rehydrate Taco TVP with hot water and stir occasionally.
  2. Dice tomatoes and add to a large bowl. (If using Thrive's Tomato Dices, rehydrate first then add to a large bowl. If using grape or cherry tomatoes, use whole or slice.) If you love tomatoes, add more!
  3. Add the Spring Mix to the large bowl. (If the pieces are to large, either chop or tear into smaller pieces.) When the Taco TVP is fully rehydrated, drain excess water off and add to bowl.
  4. Start adding the Catalina salad dressing and mix thoroughly. (I use it directly out of the bottle and usually use just under 3/4 of a regular size bottle.) Amount used will truly depend on your taste.
  5. Open bag of chips and gentle squeeze bag to break up the larger pieces and add to bowl. Mix thoroughly. If adding the Freeze Dried Cheddar Cheese, add it at the end and mix it in. It will naturally rehydrate from the Catalina Dressing.
  6. Chill in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes.
  7. **This is always a crowd pleaser at potlucks! Very simple to make and can easily have more things added to change it up a bit!
