INGREDIENTS

• 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
• 1/2 pico de gallo (also called salsa fresca; a fresh tomato salsa)
• 1/2 cup queso fresco, crumbled (also called queso blanco; a mild unripened cheese)
• 1 Hass avocado, cubed

Dressing:

• 1/2 cup lime juice
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup cilantro leaves, packed

DIRECTIONS

Line a salad bowl with a bed of chopped lettuce. Pour pico de gallo on the romaine, then scatter queso fresco and avocado evenly over the top.
