Rainbow Taco Salad
This Rainbow Taco Salad made with beans and roasted sweet potatoes is in heavy repetition in my house because it's a vegetarian greens and grain bowl meal bursting with rainbow veggies. Salad bowl meals like this taco salad are super easy to make and can be customized to what's in your pantry and around any picky eaters in your household.

Notes
- Individual ingredients in this rainbow taco salad can be prepped in advance of dinner. The spicy pickled onions are a refrigerator pickle best made the day before.
- The ingredients are easily changeable based on your preferences and what's available.
- I often eat this taco salad without salad dressing, but it works well with my honey lime vinaigrette or a Catalina dressing.
