Chopped Salad with Cilantro Lime Dressing
Instead of a tossed salad, try something new and different. Rows of salad ingredients make for a pretty presentation and it’s easy to identify exactly what you’re eating. The cilantro dressing is so sublime; pour it over any other green salad to make that salad shine.
