2wyla's Taco Salad

Last month, Ace DuMond came to Seattle to spend some quality time with his twin brother Mark and his family. In a wonderful turn of events, Ace's longtime friends Klaus and Twyla traveled up from Portland to see Ace and share some wonderful food and wine with the DuMond clan.

Ace scribbled down the following recipe based on his memory of a memorable dish from Twyla.

1/2 cup onion
1 tsp. salt
1/4 cup vinegar (1/2 balsamic, 1/2 cider)
1/3 cup ketchup
3 Tbsp. sugar
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup mayo

Put all above ingredients in a blender and buzz until smooth.

Pour onto a bed of greens, topped with white beans, black beans, garbanzo beans, kidney beans, tomato, olives, and garnish with cilantro, lime, sour cream and salsa. Eat with chips and seasoned burger for meat eaters.

I grew up on this dish and still enjoy it at least once a month. I introduced it to my wife a few years ago and it is one of her favorite dishes. Yet another generation enjoying wonderful family recipe. Love you ace and Sally! Love the blog! Noah
