You can take this Taco salad dip to any party really. It's just an all-around-amazing dip; sort of like the 7-layer dip, but it holds it's own.

- 2 cups (480ml) shredded lettuce

Preparation
Not specified
Cooking
- In a large skillet, brown ground beef (No need to add oil).
- Drain with a paper-towel if there is excess liquid.
- My lean 7% beef didn't have any extra juices to drain.
- Combine 1 packet of taco seasoning mix with 1/4 cup water.
- Once the beef is fully cooked, stir the taco seasoning mix into the beef and remove from heat to cool down.
- In the bowl of a food processor, blend 1 cup (240ml) cottage cheese, 1 package cream cheese and 1 cup (240ml) salsa until well combined and smooth.
- Spread beef into the bottom of a 9x13-inch (23x33cm) glass baking pan, or into individual glass ramekins.
- Top the meat with the blended cream cheese mixture.
- Sprinkle evenly with finely grated cheese.
- Top with sliced lettuce, diced tomatoes, avocado and cilantro (if using).
- If you aren't serving right away, you might squeeze some lime juice over your avocado to keep it from browning, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Serve with Taco chips; naturally.
