Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Romaine

    Wash the romaine lettuce under cold water, remove any wilted leaves, and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Place it in a large salad bowl.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the tomatoes and cucumber into small pieces. Add them to the bowl with the chopped romaine.

  3. 3

    Add Pickled Onion

    Spoon the pickled onions into the salad bowl. If they are whole, slice them thinly before adding.

  4. 4

    Slice the Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice it into thin pieces and arrange it on top of the salad.

  5. 5

    Add Queso Blanco

    Crumble the queso blanco over the top of the salad.

  6. 6

    Add Tortilla Chips

    Break the tortilla chips into smaller pieces and sprinkle them over the salad for crunch.

Optional Dressing

  1. 7

    Make the Dressing

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

  2. 8

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are coated.
