Salad Base

Method

Preparation of Salad Base

  1. 1

    Prepare the Romaine Lettuce

    Wash the romaine lettuce under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat dry with a kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess moisture. Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Add Ranchera Dressing

    In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce with the ranchera dressing. Toss well to ensure all the lettuce is coated evenly with the dressing.

Adding Toppings

  1. 3

    Add Pico de Gallo

    Spoon the pico de gallo over the dressed romaine lettuce. Distribute it evenly to ensure every bite has a mix of flavors.

  2. 4

    Sprinkle Queso Fresco

    Crumble the queso fresco over the top of the salad for a creamy, tangy flavor that complements the fresh ingredients.

  3. 5

    Top with Crispy Onion Strings

    Finish the salad by generously adding the crispy onion strings on top for added crunch and flavor.
