Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Romaine

    Rinse the romaine lettuce under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat dry with a towel and chop into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the tomatoes and cucumber into small pieces. If desired, remove the seeds from the cucumber for a less watery salad.

  3. 3

    Slice the Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Slice into thin wedges or cubes.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, add the chopped romaine, diced tomatoes, cucumber, pickled onion, avocado, and crumbled cotija cheese. Toss gently to combine.

Lime Vinaigrette Preparation

  1. 5

    Mix the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined and emulsified.

  2. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the lime vinaigrette over the salad mixture. Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are coated with the dressing.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve

    Divide the salad into serving bowls and enjoy fresh. Optionally, garnish with additional cotija cheese or lime wedges.
