Method

Fish Preparation

  1. 1

    Grill the Fish

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper. Grill the fish for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through and easily flaked with a fork. Remove from the grill and set aside to cool.

Salad Assembly

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large salad bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, iceberg lettuce, spinach, diced tomatoes, sliced onion, and diced cucumber. Toss gently to mix.

  2. 3

    Add Fruits and Vegetables

    Peel and dice the mango and avocado. Add the diced mango, avocado, and corn to the salad bowl. Toss gently again to combine all ingredients.

  3. 4

    Add Grilled Fish

    Flake the grilled fish fillets with a fork and add them to the salad. Mix gently to distribute the fish throughout the salad.

  4. 5

    Add Tortilla Strips

    Top the salad with deep-fried corn tortilla strips for added crunch.

Dressing Application

  1. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the mango citrus vinegar dressing over the salad. Toss gently to ensure everything is coated with the dressing.
