Editorial Notes

The ingredient tips, suggestions, variations, facts, questions and answers below are not edits to the original author's recipe. They are not meant to imply any change would improve the recipe.

  • Be sure to buy imitation crab meat and not surimi, as surimi is made from a different type of fish.
  • If you are unable to find deep fried taco shells, you can make your own by deep frying corn tortillas.

  • Instead of imitation crab meat, use 3 ounces of cooked and diced chicken breast. This substitution will provide more protein and a different texture to the salad.
  • Instead of taco sauce, use 1 teaspoon of hot sauce. This substitution will give the salad an extra kick of flavor without overwhelming the other ingredients.

Vegan Taco Salad Replace the cooked shrimp and imitation crab meat with 1/2 cup of cooked black beans and 1/2 cup of cooked corn. Replace the sour cream with vegan sour cream and the cheddar cheese with vegan cheese.



Mexican Street Corn: Sweet and savory Mexican street corn is the perfect side dish to accompany the 1986 Taco Bell Seafood Salad. The creamy and tangy flavors of the corn will complement the salad's fresh ingredients and the crunchy texture will add an extra layer of texture to the meal.


Chile-Lime Rice: Chile-lime rice is a flavorful accompaniment to the 1986 Taco Bell Seafood Salad. The zesty and spicy flavors of the rice will pair nicely with the salad's fresh ingredients, while the light and fluffy texture will provide a nice contrast to the crunchy elements of the salad.

Fun facts:

Taco Bell was founded in 1962 by Glenn Bell, a former U.S. Marine. The first restaurant was located in Downey, California and was called Taco-Tia.

In 1986, Taco Bell introduced the Seafood Salad to the menu, which was a popular item for years. It was eventually discontinued in the 90s, but this copycat recipe allows you to enjoy the classic dish at home.
