Mexican Restaurant Salad

    Cuisine:

    I'm not a big fan of salads, but this was pretty good and very much enjoyed by everyone this Thanksgiving. I tweaked the dressing a bit because it tasted strangely bitter, but otherwise it had good flavor. The queso fresco and pepitas were perfect in this.

    Mexican Restaurant Salad,This is inspired by a salad from a popular Mexican restaurant chain. If you can’t find Queso Fresco, you can substitute with a mild feta. Recipe is from San Francisco Firehouse Food: Cooking with San Francisco’s Firefighters.,I’m not a big fan of salads, but this was pretty good and very much enjoyed by everyone this Thanksgiving. I tweaked the dressing a bit because it tasted strangely bitter, but otherwise it had good flavor. The queso fresco and pepitas were perfect in this.,Absolutely awesome! Love the creamy cilantro dressing.
