1
Prepare the Greens
In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped lettuce and spinach. Make sure to wash and dry the greens thoroughly before adding them to the bowl.
2
Prepare the Vegetables
Dice the avocado and cucumber into bite-sized pieces. Add them to the salad bowl with the greens.
3
Add Cheese and Onion
Crumble the queso fresco and add it to the salad. Finely chop the onion and add it as well. If you prefer a milder flavor, consider soaking the chopped onion in cold water for 10 minutes before adding it to the salad.
4
Add Fresh Herbs
Rinse the cilantro and chop it finely. Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the salad mixture.
5
Add Tortilla Chips
Crush the tortilla chips slightly and sprinkle them on top of the salad for added crunch.
6
Dress the Salad
Drizzle the house green goddess dressing over the top of the salad. Toss the salad gently to combine all the ingredients without crushing the tortilla chips.
7
Serve
Serve the East Side Salad immediately in individual bowls or on a large platter.
