This super fresh tasting salad is truly in a league of it’s own. It features Nelson Olive Oil Co. Baklouti Green Chile Fused Olive Oil & Pineapple White Balsamic, the perfect balance of sweet and spicy! Add cooked chicken or a hard boiled egg for some extra protein and make it a light meal, or serve on it’s own as a side dish. Mexican cheeses such as queso fresco can be found at Ferraro’s in Trail but you can also substitute feta cheese in this recipe.
