Method

Preparation of Salad

  1. 1

    Wash and Prepare Lettuce

    Rinse the baby gem lettuce under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat dry with a clean towel and cut the lettuce in half lengthwise, then chop into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Prepare Dressing

    In a bowl, measure out the La Diosa Verde dressing. If homemade, ensure it is well-blended and creamy.

  3. 3

    Crumble Cheese

    Crumble the cotija cheese into small pieces using your hands or a fork, ensuring there are no large chunks.

  4. 4

    Prepare Croutons

    If using homemade garlic croutons, make sure they are toasted and crunchy. You can also use store-bought croutons for convenience.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped baby gem lettuce, crumbled cotija cheese, and house garlic croutons.

  2. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the La Diosa Verde dressing over the salad mixture. Use tongs or salad servers to gently toss the ingredients together until evenly coated.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Transfer the salad to individual plates or serve family-style in the large bowl. Enjoy immediately!
