Did you know that today, November 13th is world kindness day?  Why not share a healthy lunch today with someone you love?  One of the best ways to show you care for someone is to prepare healthy dishes for them like this Sweet Potato Noodle Taco Salad.

Sweet potatoes are packed with vitamin A and fiber and one medium sweet potato has a mere 100 calories.  Did you know that North Carolina is the number one sweet potato producing state?

When the North Carolina SweetPotato Commission asked me to create a sweet potato recipe as part of their initiative, Be Sweet More Often, I jumped at the chance.  Besides I am a HUGE sweet potato fan as you can see from this Gluten Free Sweet Potato Casserole and this Sweet Potato Noodle Stir Fry with Steak.  They are versatile and convenient!

I love making vegetable noodles because they are such a great alternative to pasta and low in carbs.  You can easily make sweet potato noodles with a spiralizer or you can buy them pre-cut in most grocery stores.  OR you can just cut them super thin yourself, just watch those fingers!  When making salads out of sweet potato noodles, you can give them a quick saute in a non-stick skillet with olive oil just to soften them up or you can eat them raw. I prefer mine sauteed.

 

This Sweet Potato Noodle Taco Salad is so simple.  The fresh salsa serves as the perfect dressing and it's full of fresh tomatoes and spices. It's sure to fill you up with all the spicy beef, sauteed sweet potato noodles, and crunchy lettuce.  It's going to become your favorite way to eat a taco salad, I promise!
