Using a Cuisinart Food Processor or a Box Grater, shred the cheddar cheese and set aside.
Assemble the Taco Salad

Notes
Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!There are two ways to make the sauce for this recipe. The first is to use sour cream, and the second is to use Plain Greek Yogurt. Greek Yogurt is fat free and packed with protein. Our family switched to Greek Yogurt many years ago, and to be honest, you can not truly tell the difference with this Taco Salad!
