- Quick Chipotle Vinegarette dressing:
- 1 part Goya Salsa Taquera
- 1 part Extra Virgin olive oil
- 1/2 part Balsamic vinegar
- Sea salt and Fresh Ground White Pepper to taste
- If possible, make the Salsa Taquera fresh by blending tomatillos, arbol peppers, chipotle peppers, onion, garlic, salt,a dash of red wine vinegar and a squeeze of lemon.
- Combine ingredients for salad. Combine ingredients for dressing, shaking well. Dress the salad as close to serving time as possible.
- SERVING OPTIONS: with grilled chicken, with scallops and shrimp, with char grilled steak or with house made black bean burger grilled and then cut and flash pan fried with some plantains and sugar. In October, I prepare this and present it around butternut squash centered with black beans and topped with diced onion. A huge party hit!
